Mohanlal's upcoming release
Munthirivallikal Thalirkumbol
has already garnered a huge response from its trailer and songs. The movie, directed by
Jibu Jacob, brings together the Drishyam team of
Mohanlal and
Meena and is touted to be a family entertainer.
The film is also the actor's next after Pulimurugan, which broke all box office records this year. Ask Mohanlal if Munthirivallikal Thalirkumbol will have the weight of expectations and the superstar says, "Our audience are well versed and aware of what type of movie they are watching. Munthirivallikal Thalirkumbol is a film by Vellimoonga director Jibu Jacob and it has Meena and me in it. When they see a poster with me in a mundu and a bucket, they are convinced it's an ordinary movie about a panchayat secretary. It has situational humour. It's about the problems of a common man. The movie has down to earth characters that people can identify with. It also explores the relationships of son-father, husband-wife and friends."
The movie was supposed to hit theatres before Christmas but has not yet released due to the standoff between the Kerala producers union and exhibitors association.
