Mohanlal’s L 366 Titled ‘Athimanoharam’; First Look Sparks Buzz on Vishu

In a festive Vishu announcement that caught fans by surprise, the makers of Athimanoharam—the much-awaited project starring Mohanlal—officially revealed the film’s title along with a striking first look poster.

The poster showcases Mohanlal in a khaki police uniform, standing amidst a sea of Sabarimala pilgrims. The imagery is visually powerful and layered, hinting at a story deeply rooted in faith, duty and societal conflict. The actor plays TS Lovelajan, marking his return to a full-fledged cop role—something that has historically delivered some of his most iconic performances.

The film reunites Mohanlal with director Tharun Moorthy after their successful collaboration on Thudarum. Known for his grounded storytelling and emotionally rich narratives, Tharun is expected to bring depth and realism to this character-driven story.

Backing the project is producer Ashiq Usman, with the screenplay written by Ratheesh Ravi, known for films like Ishq and Adi. His writing style, often centred on layered relationships and moral dilemmas, adds to the anticipation around the film’s narrative arc.

Joining Mohanlal is Meera Jasmine, who plays Naisy, the wife of Lovelajan. Their pairing brings emotional weight to the storyline, especially with Meera Jasmine’s recent return to mainstream cinema gaining positive attention.

The film also boasts a strong technical crew, including cinematographer Shaji Kumar, music composer Jakes Bejoy, editor Vivek Harshan, and sound designer Vishnu Govind, ensuring a visually and technically polished cinematic experience.

Adding to the excitement, Mohanlal has a packed slate ahead with projects like L 367, Khalifa alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Thudakkam, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, which also marks the debut of his daughter Vismaya Mohanlal.

With Athimanoharam, Mohanlal appears to be embracing roles that blend mass appeal with rooted storytelling. The first look suggests a compelling narrative that explores the intersection of faith, duty and personal conflict, set against the culturally rich backdrop of the Sabarimala pilgrimage.
