Malayalam cinema’s beloved Mohanlal is expected to make a strong comeback after recent setbacks with two highly anticipated films awaiting release—Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj, and Thudakkam, directed by Tarun Moorthy. While Empuraan has already set records with its advance bookings, Thudakkam has also ignited excitement with its latest updates. The film has completed its censoring process and has received a U/A certificate from the censor board. The movie has a runtime of 2 hours and 46 minutes.
In Empuraan, Mohanlal will be seen as the powerful Qureshi Abram, whereas in Thudakkam, he plays Shanmugham, a taxi driver. With such diverse roles in both films, fans have double the reason to celebrate.
Empuraan is set to release on March 27. The combination of Mohanlal and Prithviraj, along with the massive success of Lucifer, has significantly increased the hype around the film. Meanwhile, the release date of Thudakkam has not yet been officially announced, though reports suggest it may hit theaters in May. Since the censoring process is complete, an official release date is expected to be revealed soon.
