Kochi: Actor Mohanlal has launched a music band called Lalisom.
The first show is to be held in February next year with a “musical biography” of the actor’s 36-year-long celluloid career.
The two-hour-plus show will use hologram technology and special effects to portray characters immortalised by the actor. At least 40 songs from his various films will be part of the show.
Mohanlal, who is part of the band, wants to take the show around India and overseas.
“This is not just a ganamela. I feel blessed that I had very good songs in my films sung by veteran singers like Yesudas, Jayachandrn and M G Sreekumar. This is a journey through my life, films. My life’s philosophy, my characters are all there. This is a thanksgiving to all those who were with me all these years. Since I am an actor, this is the only way I can reciprocate and consider this as my gift”, he said.
The show will have eight artists. Music director Rateesh Vegh is the music composer.
