Health Concerns and Hospitalization
Mohanlal's sudden hospitalization has sparked concern among his massive fanbase. The actor was reportedly unwell after returning from Gujarat, where he had been filming the much-anticipated sequel to "Lucifer", directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Upon his return to Kochi, his condition worsened, leading to his admission to the hospital. The medical team at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences is closely monitoring his health, and he is currently under observation. The hospital’s statement, signed by Dr. Gireesh Kumar KP, Professor of Medicine, confirms that the actor is showing symptoms consistent with a viral respiratory infection, which includes muscle pain and breathing difficulty.
Upcoming film & SRK reaction
Despite his health scare, Mohanlal is gearing up for the release of his directorial debut, "Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure", which is scheduled to hit theaters on October 3, 2024. The 3D fantasy drama, based on the novel by Jijo Punnoose, has been eagerly awaited by fans since its announcement in 2019. Although the film’s release has faced several delays, the team is optimistic about the October release, which promises to be a visual spectacle.
"Barroz" marks a significant milestone in Mohanlal's illustrious career, which spans over four decades and more than 400 films. The film also stars Maya, Cesar Lorente Raton, and Guru Somasundaram in pivotal roles. Initially scheduled for a March 28 release, the film was postponed due to post-production delays, as confirmed by the star himself on social media.
