Malayalam cinema icon Mohanlal was recently admitted to a hospital in Kochi after experiencing health issues, causing concern among his fans and the film industry. The 64-year-old actor reportedly faced difficulty breathing, muscle pain, and a high fever. Given the severity of these symptoms, he was swiftly taken to the hospital for medical attention.
Possible Viral Respiratory Infection
According to an official medical statement, Mohanlal may be suffering from a viral respiratory infection, as his symptoms align with this diagnosis. The actor has been advised to avoid public places and strictly follow the prescribed medication regimen. Fortunately, reports indicate that Mohanlal is now feeling better and is under close observation by the medical team. The news was initially shared on Twitter by industry tracker Sridhar Pillai, who wished the veteran actor a speedy recovery. However, the tweet has since been deleted.
Mohanlal’s Recent Work and Health Setback
Mohanlal’s health issues arose shortly after his return to Kochi from Gujarat, where he had been working on two major projects. He was wrapping up the shooting for “L2: Empuraan” and overseeing the post-production of his directorial debut, “Barroz.” The strain of his busy schedule may have contributed to his current condition, but recent medical tests suggest that he is on the mend.
Upcoming Release: “Barroz”
“Barroz,” a highly anticipated film directed by Mohanlal, is set to release on October 2, 2024. The film’s release was originally planned for March 28, 2024, but the team decided to postpone it due to delays in post-production. This project marks Mohanlal’s first venture as a director, adding to the excitement among his fans.
Legal Controversy Surrounding “Barroz”
Adding to the challenges, Mohanlal and the “Barroz” team recently faced a legal controversy. A Malayali writer living in Germany accused them of copyright infringement, claiming that the story of “Barroz” was inspired by his novel. Despite the serious allegations, the film’s team has remained silent in the media, while the writer continues to assert his claims. The controversy has yet to be resolved, but it has not dampened the anticipation for the film’s release.
Current Status of Mohanlal’s Health
As of now, Mohanlal’s condition is stable, and he is expected to recover fully with proper rest and medical care. Fans and colleagues alike are relieved to hear that the beloved actor is feeling better and are eagerly awaiting his return to full health.
