Returning to his romantic comedy origins, Malayalam great Mohanlal stars in 'Hridayapoorvam,' a slice-of-life family drama helmed by Sathyan Anthikad . Released on July 19, the teaser provides a nostalgic peek into the sort of emotionally rich storytelling that characterized their prior partnerships. The film is slated for release on August 28, 2025, coinciding with the Onam festival. Watch the trailer here: Teaser highlights Mohanlal's comic charm and emotional warmth Mohanlal's character responds to a young man who only links Fahadh Faasil to Malayalam films. The opening of the presentation sets the level for a humorous story which is full of self-knowledge and humor. Mohanlal's acting is described as brilliant and quite humorous; it employs images to relate a warm, family-based storyline. The teaser also presents Malavika Mohanan , who's casting first caused debate because of the 33-year age gap with Mohanlal. However, the actress clarified on social media that she is not playing his romantic interest, urging viewers to avoid premature assumptions. Hridayapoorvam marks Mohanlal's 18th collaboration with Sathyan Anthikad 'Hridayapoorvam' is reportedly based on a story by Akhil Sathyan, the director's son, with a screenplay by debutant Sonu TP The film also marks a generational collaboration, with Anoop Sathyan serving as associate director. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you Can be Too Old for Learn More Undo Mohanlal plays Sandeep Balakrishnan, a beardless, breezy character navigating everyday life with humor and heart.

Hridayapoorvam Teaser Review: Mohanlal rekindles romantic comedy magic in Sathyan Anthikad's family drama
Mohanlal is collaborating with filmmaker Sathyan Anthikad after 10 years in the upcoming Malayalam family drama Hridayapoorvam. The storyline of this movie is said to be based on a story written by Sathyan's son, Akhil. And now, the makers have shared the teaser of the upcoming drama. Hridayapoorvam teaser review The 1-minute, 5-second-long clip starts with a soft characterisation of Mohanlal as he seemingly gets pissed off at a person who only identifies Malayalam cinema with Fahadh Faasil. The conversation gets more interesting as Sathyan Anthikad adds a real-life reference to Mohanlal as a senior Malayalam actor. The remaining visuals tease audiences with the very cute personality of Mohanlal, as he channels various comic moments engulfed in a light-hearted family drama. Hridayapoorvam cast and crew Besides Mohanlal in the lead, the movie also stars Malavika Mohanan, Sangeeth Prathap, Sangita Madhavan Nair, Siddique, Sabitha Anand, Baburaj, and others. It is produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, while its music has been composed by Justin Prabhakaran. Will Hridayapoorvam clash with other films at box office? Recently, the makers of Hridayapoorvam confirmed its release date as August 28, 2025, which will coincide with the festive period of Onam. Interestingly, it seems to be at loggerheads with films like Revolver Rita and Mass Jathara, both of which will be releasing on August 27, just a day before. While Mohanlal's previous films have usually received a massive response even with a packed-up release slot, it is yet to be seen how this much fares at the box office. Mohanlal's work front Lalettan has one of the most interesting lineups of films ahead, including L365, Drishyam 3, and Vrusshabha. He is also working on Mahesh Narayanan's film Patriot, co-starring Mammootty and Nayanthara in key roles.
