Aaraattu,
the
highly
anticipated
mass
entertainer
marks
the
reunion
of
Mohanlal
and
filmmaker
B
Unnikrishnan.
In
the
recent
discussion
held
in
the
popular
social
media
platform
Clubhouse,
director
Unnikrishnan
revealed
some
exciting
details
about
Aaraattu.
Interestingly,
the
director
stated
that
the
movie
is
his
tribute
to
Mohanlal,
the
star
actor.
In
the
Clubhouse
discussion,
B
Unnikrishnan
revealed
that
Aaraattu
cannot
be
called
a
"Mohanlal
Reloaded" project.
According
to
the
director,
this
film
is
his
tribute
to
the
complete
actor,
who
is
unarguably
the
biggest
superstar
of
Malayalam
cinema
and
one
of
the
finest
actors
of
Indian
cinema.
From
the
director's
words,
it
is
evident
that
Aaraattu
is
a
celebration
of
Mohanlal
as
both
an
actor
and
a
star.
B
Unnikrishnan,
who
revealed
that
he
is
a
die-hard
Mohanlal,
also
stated
that
the
much-awaited
project
will
have
references
to
some
of
the
superstar's
highly
celebrated
films.
Aaraattu,
which
has
four
songs
and
four
high-voltage
action
sequences,
is
going
to
be
a
complete
treat
for
the
Mohanlal
fans.
At
the
same
time,
it
is
also
a
film
that
brings
out
the
brilliant
acting
skills
of
its
leading
man.
As
reported
earlier,
Aaraattu
is
not
a
mass
film
that
comes
on
the
lines
of
Mohanlal's
yesteryear
blockbusters.
In
an
earlier
interview,
director
B
Unnikrishnan
and
writer
Udaya
Krishna
had
revealed
that
the
movie
will
not
showcase
any
kind
of
misogynistic
or
classist
jokes,
and
will
not
have
any
offensive
sequences
ridiculing
any
community.
Mohanlal
is
playing
the
role
of
Neyyattinkara
Gopan,
who
travels
from
his
native
Neyyattinkara
to
a
village
in
Palakkad
with
a
special
motive.
Shraddha
Srinath
is
appearing
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Mohanlal
in
the
movie.
The
movie
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Nedumudi
Venu,
Saikumar,
Vijayaraghavan,
Siddique,
Indrans,
Raghavan,
Nandu,
Kochu
Preman,
Johny
Antony,
Biju
Pappan,
Sheela,
Swasika,
Malavika,
Rachana
Narayanankutty,
and
so
on
in
the
supporting
roles.
Aaraattu
is
expected
to
hit
the
theatres
once
the
pandemic
comes
under
control.
