Arjun Rampal, Bhagyashri Borse praise Mohanlal on Operation Ganga
The Story in Brief
Arjun Rampal has called Malayalam superstar Mohanlal ‘supremely talented and gifted’ after working with him on the upcoming film Operation Ganga. Rampal shared stills on Instagram on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, saying it was ‘an honour’ and ‘inspirational’ to share screen space with the actor. The film is directed by Vishnu Mohan and is inspired by the Indian government's 2022 mission to evacuate citizens from Ukraine and neighbouring nations after the Russian invasion.
Actor Bhagyashri Borse, who also makes her Malayalam debut with the film, posted a picture with Mohanlal on Thursday, 1 October 2026, calling it a ‘blessing’ to be his co-actor. She wrote, ‘Every day of shoot, I get to see cinema through your eyes and learn from you.’ Currently being shot in Georgia, Operation Ganga also stars Adil Hussain and Parthiban. Produced by Gokulam Gopalan under Sree Gokulam Movies, the film reunites Rampal with composer Shashwat Sachdev and stunt choreographer Sea Young Oh from his Dhurandhar franchise. The makers have not disclosed a release date.
Update, 1 October 2026: Bhagyashri Borse has also praised Mohanlal, calling it a ‘blessing’ to be his co-actor, in a post on Thursday, 1 October 2026, as reported by Cinema Express and Hindustan Times. She marks her Malayalam debut with the film. No release date has been announced.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage across all six sources is uniform straight reporting: every outlet leads with Rampal's Instagram tribute and the film's premise. NDTV and Times of India also foreground fan reactions, such as ‘Performer meets Performer’, adding a fan-engagement angle absent in Cinema Express and Onmanorama, which focus on the film's production details and Mohanlal's cameo anecdote. Hindustan Times and Onmanorama separately highlight the crossover reference to Mohanlal's Major Mahadevan character. Bhagyashri Borse's praise, reported only in Cinema Express and Hindustan Times on 1 October, adds a new actor's perspective but does not alter the story. No source adopts a critical or ideological stance. All sources confirm the film's release date has not been announced.
