Legendary Mollywood star Mohanlal is making his directorial debut with the highly anticipated adventurous fantasy drama, Barroz. Produced by Anthony Perumbavoor, the film is gearing up for a grand release worldwide as a Christmas treat in a few hours. The film will also have a 3D release in multiple Indian languages.

It’s well known that Barroz will have a direct release in Telugu. Mohanlal and the film’s team landed in Hyderabad on Tuesday to attend the film’s premiere and interact with the Telugu film media at the pre-release event at AMB Cinemas. Speaking at the event, Mohanlal said that he feels fortunate to have been part of the Indian film industry and entertain the audience with numerous stories and characters for over four decades.

Mohanlal went on to say that Barroz is made in the native 3D format, which no one has ever attempted in Indian cinema in the past 40 years. “Barroz is a children-friendly film. An entire family can enjoy the movie together. I have made Barroz with a lot of love. The film celebrates the child in all of us. The storytelling will offer a novel experience,” the legendary actor said.

Talking about the film’s technicians, Mohanlal said, “India’s best cinematographer, Santosh Sivan, my friend Rajiv Kumar, who worked on India’s first-ever 3D film, young musical prodigy Lydian Nadhaswaram, and others have worked on Barroz. I had associated with Mythri Movie Makers on Janatha Garage, and they’re releasing Barroz Telugu with a great vision.”
