noop Menon on Mohanlal Project Delay: “We’re Waiting for the Right Producer” 150-character Brief:

Actor-filmmaker Anoop Menon has revealed that his upcoming project with Mohanlal has been delayed, citing his determination to onboard the right producer. The film, which he recently described as a “dramatic journey traversing love, longing, and music,” marks his reunion with Mohanlal after their 2008 collaboration Pakal Nakshatrangal.

Anoop is currently gearing up for the release of Ee Thani Niram, directed by Ratheesh Nedumangadu and written by Ambika Kannan Bai, which is set to hit theatres this Friday. During a press conference for the film, he addressed questions about the Mohanlal project, calling the delay a “technical glitch” caused by a change in the production banner.

Responding to queries, Anoop said it is still too early to discuss details about the film, especially Mohanlal’s character. “I can only talk about it once production begins. The earlier production arrangement did not work out, which led to this technical issue,” he explained.

The actor further clarified that the delay stems from his insistence on securing the right producer. “I believe this adamancy will ultimately benefit the film. Lalettan also feels we should wait for the right producer to come onboard. Only then will the film materialise,” he said.

Emphasising that there is no need to rush, Anoop noted that both he and Mohanlal have other projects in hand. “Mohanlal has several films lined up, and I too have projects to keep me busy. This film will happen only when the entire production team is satisfied and happy. It could be this year or next. Let it happen at the right time,” he added, assuring that all is well and positive around the project.
