Aaraattu,
the
highly
anticipated
mass
entertainer
marks
the
reunion
of
complete
actor
Mohanlal
and
renowned
filmmaker
B
Unnikrishnan.
The
movie,
which
was
originally
supposed
to
hit
the
theatres
as
an
Onam
2021
release,
is
currently
delayed
due
to
the
pandemic
situation
in
Kerala.
However,
director
B
Unnikrishnan
has
now
made
a
major
revelation
about
the
release
of
the
Mohanlal
starrer.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
Malayalam
media,
the
filmmaker
confirmed
that
Aaraattu
is
likely
to
hit
the
theatres
by
the
beginning
of
2022.
According
to
B
Unnikrishnan,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
is
specially
designed
for
the
big
screens
and
deserves
to
be
watched
in
theatres.
Thus,
the
filmmaker
also
put
an
end
to
the
rumours
that
suggested
the
possibilities
of
an
OTT
release.
Earlier,
it
was
rumoured
that
Aaraattu
might
hit
the
theatres
in
October
or
November
2021.
But
the
director
brushed
off
the
reports
with
a
social
media
post
and
confirmed
that
they
have
no
plans
to
release
the
Mohanlal
starrer
anytime
soon.
Even
though
the
further
delay
upset
the
Mohanlal
fans,
they
are
eagerly
waiting
to
watch
the
film
on
big
screens.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
Aaraattu
might
hit
the
theatres
before
the
highly
anticipated
Mohanlal
starrer
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham.
Thus,
the
B
Unnikrishnan
directorial
will
also
mark
the
comeback
of
the
superstar
to
the
theatres,
after
a
long
gap
of
around
2
years.
B
Unnikrishnan,
who
is
joining
hands
with
Mohanlal
for
the
fifth
time
in
his
career,
had
recently
stated
that
Aaraattu
is
his
tribute
to
the
complete
actor.
In
a
Clubhouse
discussion,
the
filmmaker
had
revealed
that
Aaraattu
cannot
be
called
a
"Mohanlal
Reloaded"
project.
According
to
B
Unnikrishnan,
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.
