‘Barroz’: Makers share an update on Mohanlal’s maiden directorial venture

Ever since the legendary superstar, Mohanlal announced him donning the director’s cap for the first time for the upcoming film ‘Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure’, the fans have been keen on knowing updates from the project. Recently the makers shared an update via their official social media handle that the film’s shooting is progressing in Cochin, Kerala.

Sharing a location click of Mohanlal from the ‘Barroz’ sets, via their official Facebook handle, the makers penned a note that read, “‘Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure’ - Shoot progressing in Cochin.” The location click was taken by the director Aneesh Upasana who is best known for helming the films ‘Matinee’, ‘Seconds’ and ‘Popcorn’.

Earlier Mohanlal turned muse for the director Aneesh Upasana and shared a picture of him via his official Facebook handle. Mohanlal looked dapper wearing a stunning outfit coupled with stylish specs
The shoot for the film was kickstarted last year, but due to the Covid outbreak the shoot was temporarily stopped and as a result, several of the actors backed out from the project due to date clashes and other reasons. Several portions of the film which was shot earlier also needed to be re-shot as said by Mohanlal in an interview with online media.
As per the reports, the ‘Minnal Murali’ fame Guru Somasundaram is roped in to play a pivotal role in Mohanlal’s maiden directorial venture. ‘Barroz’ also has an ensemble cast that includes Paz Vega, Rafael Amargo, Cesar Lorente Raton, and Unni Mukundan.
The expectations for ‘Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure’ among the audience are really high due to several reasons. One such reason would be that the renowned director- cinematographer Santosh Sivan will be cranking the lens for the film and the next reason is that the script of the film is penned down by Jijo Punnoose who is best known for India’s first 3D film ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ which was released in the year 1984.
