Mohanlal,
the
complete
actor
of
Malayalam
cinema
is
currently
busy
with
the
shooting
of
Aaraattu,
the
upcoming
mass
entertainer.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
Malayalam
media,
director
B
Unnikrishnan
confirmed
that
Aaraattu
will
not
go
the
OTT
way.
The
director
also
stated
that
the
Mohanlal
starrer
will
get
a
grand
theatrical
release.
According
to
the
filmmaker,
Aaraattu
is
a
big
project,
that
is
made
with
a
massive
budget
on
a
large
scale.
The
Mohanlal
starrer
is
being
made
for
the
masses,
to
be
enjoyed
on
the
big
screen.
So
an
OTT
release
is
definitely
not
an
option
for
the
project,
which
is
already
making
headlines
with
its
promising
first
look
poster
and
big
star
cast.
The
filmmaker
also
confirmed
that
Aaraattu
is
a
complete
entertainer
with
the
right
mass
elements,
that
cater
to
all
groups
of
audiences.
Thus,
the
team
has
decided
to
wait
till
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic
comes
under
the
control
and
theatres
in
Kerala
re-open,
to
release
the
Mohanlal
starrer.
The
latest
stills
from
the
location
of
Aaraattu,
in
which
the
leading
man
Mohanlal
is
appearing
in
a
traditional
avathar,
are
now
going
viral
on
social
media
platforms.
In
the
latest
location
stills,
the
superstar
is
seen
in
a
long
kurta,
teamed
up
with
a
kasavu
mundu
and
statement
accessories.
As
per
the
reports,
Mohanlal
is
appearing
as
the
central
character
Neyyattinkara
Gopan
in
the
movie,
which
is
scripted
by
Pulimurugan
fame
Udhaya
Krishna.
Aaraattu
reportedly
revolves
around
the
life
of
Gopan,
who
travels
from
his
native
Neyyattinkara
to
a
village
in
Palakkad
with
a
special
motive.
