Mohanlal
will
team
up
with
his
Shikkar
director
Padmakumar,
for
the
upcoming
movie
Kanal.
Mohanlal
will
play
the
central
character
in
the
movie.
A
popular
young
actor
will
play
an
equally
important
role
in
the
movie,
which
is
said
to
be
an
out-and-out
action
thriller.
Interestingly,
the
team
is
providing
as
opportunity
for
the
audience
to
suggest
a
young
actor,
who
will
be
able
to
share
a
great
camaraderie
with
Mohanlal.
Reportedly,
the
movie,
which
has
the
tag
line
'Every
end
has
an
old
beginning'
revolves
around
two
individuals
who
live
in
the
sand
city,
with
revenge-filled
minds.
Mohanlal
and
Padmakumar's
last
association,
Shikkar
was
also
an
exceptional
thriller
which
also
dealt
with
a
revenge
story.
The
movie
earned
highly
positive
reviews
from
the
audience
&
critics
and
performed
well
at
box
office
as
well.
Expectations
are
riding
high
on
Kanal,
as
Mohanlal
will
be
portraying
a
full-fledged
action
role,
after
a
long
gap
in
the
movie.
Kanal
is
an
ambitious
project
for
director
Padmakumar,
who
has
been
going
through
tough
times
in
his
career.
The
director
tasted
back-to
back
failures
with
his
last
five
directorial
ventures,
including
Thiruvambadi
Thampan,
Ithu
Pathiramanal,
Orissa,
D
Company
and
Polytechnic.
