Upcoming Release of ‘Barroz’
‘Barroz,’ the directorial debut of Mohanlal, is set to be released on October 2, coinciding with the start of the nine-day Navratri festival. The film was originally scheduled for release on March 28, 2024, but was postponed due to delays in post-production. Earlier this year, the film’s team, including Mohanlal, received a legal notice from a German-based Malayali writer alleging copyright infringement, though these allegations were not addressed publicly by the team.
