Hyderabad: Fans of the Malayalam screen icon, Mohanlal, have long been eagerly anticipating updates about his directorial debut film, Barroz. The excitement has reached its peak as the actor-turned-director recently shared a major update about the project.

Barroz is an upcoming Malayalam-language fantasy film, representing Mohanlal's first foray into directing.
