Birthday Special: 5 upcoming films of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal we are excited for

By Murtuza Iqbal

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has been ruling Mollywood for more than four decades. He has been a part of many successful films and has proved his mettle as an actor.


Today, Mohanlal celebrates his 61st birthday, so, let’s look at the list of five upcoming films of the superstar we are excited for…

Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham

Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham starring Mohanlal was slated to release in March last year, but due to the pandemic, the film was postponed. Now, it is slated to release on 12th August 2021. Meanwhile, the film has already won three National Awards, Best Feature Film, Best Special Effects, and Best Costume.

Ram

After Drishyam and Drishyam 2, filmmaker Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal have teamed up for a movie titled Ram. Mohanlal plays the titular role in the film and it is said to be an action-thriller. We are sure fans of Mohanlal and Jeethu have high expectations from this one.

Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure

Mohanlal is all set to make his directorial debut with a film titled Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure. While Mohanlal will portray the titular role in the film, Prithviraj Sukumaran will be seen playing a pivotal role.

L2: Empuraan

In 2019, Mohanlal featured in a film titled Lucifer which was directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. A sequel to the film titled L2: Empuraan is on the cards. Today, while wishing Mohanlal, Prithviraj posted on Instagram, “If not for the pandemic, we should have been shooting Empuraan by now.”

Drishyam 3

Last but not the least, we have Drishyam 3 on the list. After the mind-blowing, Drishyam and Drishyam 2, the makers have confirmed that Drishyam 3 will happen, but it will take some time. However, people who have seen both the instalments are eagerly awaiting the third part of the series.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
