the
Mohanlal

2022,
as

brand
new

of
the

that
reveals
the

With
the
new
social
media
post,
Mohanlal
has
finally
put
an
end
to
all
buzz
regarding
the
underperformance
of
Aaraattu
at
the
box
office.
It
is
a
fact
that
the
movie
was
struggling
at
the
box
office
in
the
first
two
days
of
its
release,
especially
in
the
rest
of
India
releasing
centers.
But,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
is
performing
extremely
well
at
the
overseas
centers,
especially
the
UAE-GCC
area.
To
the
unversed,
Aaraattu
marked
Mohanlal's
fifth
collaboration
with
director
B
Unnikrishnan,
after
Madambi,
Grandmaster,
Mr.
Fraud,
and
Villain.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
Malayalam
media,
director
Unnikrishnan
had
described
the
film
as
his
tribute
to
Mohanlal,
the
superstar.
Aaraattu
is
penned
by
Uday
Krishna,
who
has
earlier
been
associated
with
the
complete
actor
