After playing a carpenter in Rasatantram, Mohanlal is all set to don the role of a photographer for Renjan Pramod's new film titled Photographer.

The movie has been set against the backdrop of the struggle of the tribal people in Muthanga. The agitation, which was a turning point in state politics, has all elements that suit a commercial thriller. Mohanlal plays Sijo John entrusted with a special photography assignment among Adivasi settlements. The movie has musical score by Johnson with Azhagappan handling the camera.

With hits in Tanmatra, Rasatantram and Vadakumnathan, Mohanlal is all charged up and is keen to keep the good run going. He is also playing a Major in Keerthi Chakra, a movie being directed by Major Ravi.
