‘Athimanoharam’ set for grand theatrical release on December 24
The makers have confirmed that ‘Athimanoharam’ will hit theatres worldwide on December 24, making it one of the biggest Christmas releases of the year. The festive release is expected to give the film a strong opening at the box office. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film reunites the filmmaker with Mohanlal after the success of ‘Thudarum.’ Mohanlal can be seen portraying the role of a policeman, whereas Meera Jasmine essays the role of his wife in ‘Athimanoharam’. The movie, with its emotional plot line and timely release, has already become one of the most awaited movies in Malayalam this year.
Strong creative team raises expectations for the family drama
‘Athimanoharam’ has an experienced team behind the camera. The screenplay is written by Ratheesh Ravi, who has previously worked on movies like ‘Ishq’ and ‘Alappuzha Gymkhana’. The project has been further buoyed by the combination of Tharun Moorthy’s direction and Ratheesh Ravi’s writing. The first-look poster also gives a hint that the film will be a mix of family relations and a compelling emotional story, which is unlike Mohanlal’s recent outings to the action genre.
