Mohanlal
starrer
Swapnamalika,
which
has
been
in
production
for
a
while
now,
is
finally
nearing
completion.
The
movie
started
off
with
a
gusto
that
was
lost
midway.
The
early
portions
of
the
film
were
shot
quickly
at
Haridwar.
Later,
Mohanlal
seemed
to
have
grown
tired
of
the
film,
making
it
hard
for
his
director,
K
A
Devaraj
to
finish
the
movie.
Devaraj
has
managed
to
get
the
movie
close
to
completion
by
making
some
key
changes
in
the
screenplay,
which
don"t
require
the
superstar
to
be
present
in
a
lot
of
scenes.
At
present,
the
remaining
shoot
is
on
at
Ottapalam.
Swapnamalika
also
stars
foreign
actress
Elena.
She
plays
the
character
Radha
Karmel
who
comes
to
India
after
the
death
of
her
Indian
lover
and
meets
Mohanlal"s
character
at
Haridwar.
Elena
is
surprised
that
Mohanlal,
despite
being
a
superstar,
is
devoid
of
starry
airs
and
is
extremely
grounded
and
down-to-earth.
She
will
be
returning
to
Italy
sometime
soon,
with
memories
and
the
experience
of
working
with
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
