Chennai: The makers of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s upcoming film, tentatively being referred to #L370, have now cautioned the public of fake audition calls that were doing the rounds and have clarified that they had not authorised or announced any auditions or casting requirements for their film at this point in time.

He wrote, “Please be aware of fake audition posters, messages, or calls circulating in the name of L370. We have not authorised or announced any auditions or casting requirements for L370 at this time. Please do not share personal information, documents, or make any payments in response to such calls or posts. For any official casting announcements, please rely only on our verified and authorised communication channels. Please stay alert and beware of fraud.”

It may be recalled that only a couple of days ago, actor Mohanlal had expressed delight at the fact that he was teaming up with well known producer Ashiq Usman for a second time for his upcoming film #L370.

Taking to his X timeline to express his delight, Mohanlal had said, “Thrilled to team up with Ashiq Usman once again, this time under the direction of Jude Anthany Joseph for #L370.”

Ashiq Usman’s production house, Ashiq Usman Productions, too had expressed excitement at teaming up with Mohanlal for a second film. It wrote, “Proud and thrilled to announce our next production, L370. Featuring the one and only Lalettan, the legendary actor who continues to inspire generations.”

“Another special journey, another unforgettable collaboration with a true icon.

Directed by @judeanthanyjoseph L370, the journey begins. #L370 #Lalettan #Mohanlal#JudeAnthanyJoseph#ashiqusman.”

Interestingly, Jude Anthany Joseph’s last film was ‘Thudakkam’, which marked the acting debut of Mohanlal’s daughter Vismaya Mohanlal. In fact, ‘Thudakkam’, which has released and is having a fantastic run, has just completed 35 days in theatres.

Mohanlal had taken to his X timeline to share the happy news. He wrote, “Celebrating 35 glorious days and the incredible people who made #Thudakkam possible. This journey is ours. This love is yours.”

It may be recalled that producer Ashiq Usman had only recently announced that shooting for ‘Athimanoharam’, his first film with Mohanlal, had been wrapped up. In fact, a week ago, Ashiq Usman had announced that shooting had been wrapped up and that dubbing was now going on. The film, which features Meera Jasmine as the female lead, has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs.

For the unaware, ‘Athimanoharam’, which was initially being referred to as #L366 and which has been directed by Tharun Moorthy, has Mohanlal playing a policeman called T S Lovelajan in it.

Although very little is known about the upcoming film #L370, sources in the industry suggest that the film will be a colourful entertainer.
