On Sunday, Cinematographer-filmmaker Santosh Sivan unveiled an important update on Mohanlal's directorial debut Barroz. Taking to his Twitter handle, Santhosh Sivan revealed that Barroz will start rolling in March. "Starting 'Barozz' in March with Mohanlal in director's chair," wrote Santhosh Sivan.

It was in October last year, Santosh Sivan had announced joining the project. "With two icons. Teaming up to showcase the best of south indian talent internationally 'Barros' Mohan Lal's debut directorial with an outstanding cast to aid Jijo Punnose script ('My Dear Kuttichathan') in 3D," Sivan had tweeted. The ace cinematographer has shot several acclaimed films including Mani Ratnam's "Dil Se", "Raavan" and Rajinikanth's 2020 action-drama "Darbar".

Written by director Jijo Punnoose, best known for his 1984 Malayalam fantasy film, "My Dear Kuttichathan", 'Barroz' is billed as a big-budget 3D fantasy project. The movie would reportedly feature an international cast, with actors from Spain, Portugal, Ghana and America.

Since the film is for kids, Mohanlal wanted to give it his best and has collaborated with piano prodigy, Lydian Nadhaswaram for the project. The 14-year-old Chennai native, who has even awed AR Rahman with his skills, has been roped in as the music director for ‘Barroz’.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal's latest release Drishyam 2 is winning hearts across the globe. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the movie was released on February 19th on Amazon Prime Video.
