In exciting news for Malayalam cinema fans, the hit director-actor duo of Tharun Moorthy and superstar Mohanlal are officially reuniting for a new project. Mohanlal himself made the official announcement, revealing that the upcoming film will be titled now as ‘L365’. The project is being produced by Aashiq Usman, with a script by Ratheesh Ravi and cinematography by Shaji Kumar, who also handled the visuals for the original film. This confirmation comes after Tharun Moorthy had earlier hinted at his next collaboration with the legendary actor, generating significant anticipation among the audience.
This reunion is particularly notable as it follows the monumental success of their first film together, Thudarum, which was released in April 2025. That film, a heartfelt story revolving around a taxi driver named Shanmughan and his family, was both a critical darling and a commercial juggernaut. According to industry reports, it earned a staggering Rs 234.5 crore globally, setting a new benchmark at the box office and even securing a prestigious screening at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
‘Thudarum’ was praised for presenting Mohanlal in a grounded, “completely ordinary” role, a portrayal that resonated deeply with audiences. As the duo prepares for this new venture, fans are eagerly speculating that it might explore a similar thematic space or character archetype. ‘Thudarum’ also marks the highly anticipated on-screen reunion of Mohanlal with actress Shobhana after many years, adding another layer of excitement. In new project the ensemble cast is expected to include talents like Arjun Ashokan, Maniyanpilla Raju, and Binu Pappu.
With the shooting scheduled to begin soon, the Malayalam film industry is abuzz with the promise of another potential blockbuster from this powerhouse combination. The announcement has successfully capitalized on the immense goodwill generated by their first collaboration, positioning ‘L365’ as one of the most anticipated projects in the pipeline. More official updates regarding the plot and full cast are expected in the coming days.
