Megastar Mohanlal unveils first look of ‘Vrusshabha’ on 65th birthday

Malayalam cinema icon Mohanlal turned 65 on Wednesday, and marked the occasion by revealing the first look of his upcoming epic film, ‘Vrusshabha’. The unveiling added to the excitement around the much-anticipated pan-Indian project.

In the striking poster, Mohanlal appears as a formidable warrior king, clad in intricately crafted golden-brown armour adorned with dragon-scale patterns. Sporting long hair, a thick beard, a white tilak, traditional ornaments, and a nose ring, the superstar cuts a commanding figure.

Sharing the look on social media, Mohanlal wrote, “This one is special — dedicating it to all my fans. The wait ends. The storm awakens. With pride and power, I unveil the first look of Vrusshabha – a tale that will ignite your soul and echo through time.”

He added that releasing the first look on his birthday made it even more special. “Your love has always been my greatest strength. Vrusshabha in cinemas on 16th October, 2025,” he wrote.

Directed and written by Nanda Kishore, ‘Vrusshabha’ is a large-scale production presented by Connekkt Media in association with Balaji Telefilms. The film has been simultaneously shot in Malayalam and Telugu.

The project is jointly produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, CK Padma Kumar, Varun Mathur, Saurabh Mishra, Abhishek S Vyas, Vishal Gurnani, and Juhi Parekh Mehta. Vrusshabha is set to release in five languages — Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada — on October 16, 2025.
