Mohanlal In Aaru Muthal Arupathu Vare

MOHANLAL in JOHNY ANTONY 's "Aaru Muthal Arupathu Vare"

Super Star Mohanlal is most keen on taking up roles that are closer to reality and could gradually be working on doing away with his larger-than-life onscreen image. The actor, who has played a variety of roles this year in films like 'Spirit' and 'Grandmaster', has signed up for 'Aaru Muthal Arupathu Vare', to be directed by Johny Antony.Jo

hny informs us, "It's a film that narrates the growth and struggles of a person's life from his childhood till the time he is much older. It tells the story of a person's courage to face all that life throws at him, and the strong will to move on. It is an entertainer, but the way the story is told will add its own seriousness to it. The protagonist, though not larger-than-life, is a perfect hero." With the story depicting the life of the protagonist from the ages of 6 to 60 years, the team is currently in search of a boy between the ages of 5 and 10, who has features that match Mohanlal's youth."I don't want to reveal from what age Mohanlal would be playing the character. All I can say is that performance-wise, it's a role that requires a lot of variations subtle as well as loud," he says. The casting of the flick is progressing and the film is scheduled to start rolling from October in Kerala, Pollachi and Mumbai.
