Mohanlal, one of the most loved Indian stars and an icon of Malayalam cinema, has turned a new leaf. The artist par excellence has turned a director with his 3D film Barroz. Aimed at kids and families, this fantasy film is the second 3D to come out of Malayalam film industry, 40 years after it gave India it’s first 3D film, Chota Chetan. Mohanlal is proud and excited about the world to see what he has created. The movie is being dubbed and released the world over in multiple languages to help it reach as wide a audience it can. The trailer launch happened in Mumbai on Wednesday with Akshay Kumar in attendance as the chief guest.

It was interesting to see the superstars come together in the same frame. It’s a noted fact Akshay has starred in many Hindi ramkes of Mohanlal’s films. But he doesn’t hold a gripe against Kumar for it. In fact, he priased Akshay and said, “I have seen most of his films that he has done with Priyadarshan and he is a brilliant actor. He also is very punctual and loves his profession. He is 100 per cent professional, I am not.” He also pointed out that the remakes were different when it came to costumes, body language and characters so there shouldn’t be comparisons.” Also Read – Will Varun Dhawan work in a movie like Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal?

Akshay on the other hand was awed by the film’s trailer and expressed interest to watch the film with Nitara. The actor had plans to catch a movie with his daughter right after the trailer launch and said that he is sure his daughter will be happy to see Barroz when it releases and will be happy, as will be other kids who watch it. Mohanlal and team also promised to send first day first show tickets of Barroz to Akki and Nitara.
