# Arjun Rampal calls Mohanlal ‘supremely talented and gifted’ for Operation Ganga 2026-09-30T09:17:24+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Arjun Rampal has praised Malayalam superstar Mohanlal as 'supremely talented and gifted' after working with him on the upcoming film Operation Ganga, directed by Vishnu Mohan. Rampal shared stills on social media on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, calling the experience 'inspirational'. The film is inspired by the Indian government's 2022 mission to evacuate citizens from Ukraine and neighbouring nations after the Russian invasion. Produced by Gokulam Gopalan under Sree Gokulam Movies, the film marks Rampal's Malayalam cinema debut and reunites him with composer Shashwat Sachdev and stunt choreographer Sea Young Oh from his Dhurandhar franchise. Bhagyashri Borse, Adil Hussain and Parthiban are also in the cast. The makers have not disclosed Rampal's role or a release date. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets, Cinema Express, NDTV and Times of India, cover the story as a straight celebrity announcement, leading with Rampal's social media post and the film's premise. None carries a political or government-critical slant. Each mentions the evacuation mission without editorial comment. The coverage is uniform in tone and substance: identical quotes, same cast details, same production banner. The only variance is in the level of background on Rampal's previous roles and the fan reactions, which NDTV and Times of India include but Cinema Express omits. The story remains an actor's tribute with no new plot or release information, leaving fans waiting for the makers' next update. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - cinemaexpress.com (neutral report) Leads with production commencement and Rampal's quote, no political slant. - ndtv.com (neutral report) Leads with Rampal's excitement, includes fan reactions, no editorial comment. - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Leads with praise, includes fan reactions and film credits, no slant.
