Mohanlal's
highly

The
much-awaited
3D
fantasy
film
has
been
launched
in
a
star-studded
event
in
Kochi
today
(March
24,
Wednesday).
The

was
attended
by

who
is
all
excited
about
his
dear
Lal's
directorial
debut,
stated
that
Barroz
is
a
promising
film
that
has
a
pan-Indian
appeal.
The
launch
event
of
Barroz
once
again
witnessed
the
much-celebrated
bromance
of
Malayalam
cinema's
biggest
superstars.
Mohanlal
was
seen
spending
most
of
his
time
out
of
stage
with
Mammootty,
whom
he
fondly
calls
"Ichakka".
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the

who
has
been
a
constant
companion
of
Mohanlal
right
from
the
announcement
of
Barroz,
confirmed
that
he
is
playing
a
pivotal
role
in
the
project.
While
talking
about
the
Mohanlal-directorial,
Prithviraj
stated
that
it
is
one
of
the
most
excellent
scripts
he
has
come
across
so
far.
The
Barroz
pooja
event
undoubtedly
shows
a
clear
picture
of
the
strong
bond
Mohanlal
shares
with
his
co-actors
and
directors.
From

also
the
General
Secretary

surprised
Mohanlal
by
gifting
him
the

as
