12th
Man,
the
highly
anticipated
Mohanlal
starrer
is
nearing
the
final
stage
of
its
production.
The
movie,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
mystery
thriller,
marks
Mohanlal's
reunion
with
Drishyam
director
Jeethu
Joseph.
As
per
the
latest
reports,

Man
has
now
finally
got

to
believable
sources,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
has
been
slated
to
get
a

If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
12th
Man
might
follow
the
footsteps
of

Joseph
duo's
last
outing

However,
the
makers
have
not
officially
confirmed
these
reports
so
far.
In
that
case,

hit
the

as
Mohanlal's
third
release
of
the
year,
after
the
much-awaited
Prithviraj
Sukumaran

Daddy
and

Aaraattu,
on
the
other
hand,
will
get
a

Thursday.
Coming

Man,
the
movie
which
marks
Mohanlal's
fourth
collaboration
with

as
an
OTT
film
right
from
its
beginning.
The
mystery
thriller
was
entirely
shot
in
Idukki,
in
a
short
schedule.
Earlier
in
an
interview
given
to
a
leading
online
media,

Joseph
had
opened
up
about
the
storyline
of
12th
Man.
According
to
the
director,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
revolves
around
the
get-together
of
11
friends
and
a
12th
person
who
joins
them.
The
movie
depicts
the
unexpected
events
that
happen
during
the
get-togethers,
in
a
time
span
of
