Mohanlal’s health concerns come at a crucial time as his eagerly awaited directorial debut, “Barroz,” is scheduled for release on October 3. The 3D fantasy drama, which has faced multiple delays since its initial announcement in 2019, was previously slated for a March 28 release. The actor recently updated fans on the new release date, promising a magical adventure.

Earlier this month, Mohanlal demonstrated his commitment to social causes by visiting landslide-affected regions in Wayanad’s Chooralmala and Mundakkai villages. He announced a substantial ₹3 crore donation through his ViswaSanthi Foundation to aid in the rehabilitation efforts. Established in 2015 to honor his late parents, Viswanathan and Santhakumari, the foundation continues to support various charitable initiatives.
