The behind-the-scenes video of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s ambitious project Barrozis out. The project marks the directorial debut of Mohanlal.
Produced by Antony Perumbavoor of Aashirvad Cinemas, the film has cinematography from Santosh Sivan. The visuals show Mohanlal as the captain of the ship, involved in several interactions with veteran Santosh Sivan, and marshalling his set of actors and technicians. The Malayalam star is seen in a bald look with a heavyset beard in front of the camera.
The film is based on the book Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure by Jijo Punnoose. In the video, Mohanlal, who is seen sporting a period costume, play the titular role Barroz, a treasure guardian who protects Vasco da Gama’s hidden treasure.
The film is shot in Kochi, Goa, Bangkok and Chennai, and the visuals show actors performing inside huge sets and some scenes being canned in live locations. The video offers a glimpse into the recording sessions of composers Lydian Nadhaswaram and Mark Kilian.
