# Mohanlal’s Athimanoharam poster released, film to release on December 24 2026-08-26T21:21:15+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Mohanlal has unveiled the first look poster of his upcoming Malayalam film 'Athimanoharam' on the occasion of Onam. The poster shows the actor in a police uniform, seated on a motorcycle. Directed by Tarun Moorthy, the film revolves around police sub-inspector TS Lovelanjan and explores his professional and personal life. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 24. Meera Jasmine plays the female lead, marking her reunion with Mohanlal after a gap. Mathrubhumi reports that 'Athimanoharam' is the first Mohanlal-starrer produced under Ashiq Usman Productions. NDTV adds that Mohanlal's character's wife is named Naisy. The cast also includes Lalu Alex, Manoj K Jayan, Jagadish, and others. Jakes Bejoy has composed the music, and Shaji Kumar is the cinematographer. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources deliver straight factual reporting on the poster release, cast, and release date, with no discernible political or ideological slant. The coverage is uniform wire-style copy. The key takeaway is commercial: the film reunites a hit actor-director pair after 'Thudarum', and the December 24 release slots it for the Christmas holiday window, a peak season for Malayalam cinema. Box office performance will depend on pre-release buzz and competition from other holiday releases. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - english.mathrubhumi.com (neutral report) Straightforward announcement of poster, cast, and release date - ndtv.com (neutral report) Factual report on poster reveal and film details This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
