Thudaram promises a family drama with a dark twist
Thudarum marks Mohanlal’s first collaboration with director Tharun Moorthy. The trailer introduces viewers to Shanmugham (Mohanlal), a taxi driver leading a peaceful life with his wife, Lalitha (Shobana) and their two children. However, the trailer hints at a dark mystery, suggesting that things are not as idyllic as they seem.

The film is particularly special as it reunites Mohanlal and Shobana on screen after nearly 16 years; their last collaboration was Sagar Alias Jacky in 2009. The duo has worked together in over 50 films, including classics like Nadodikattu, Minnaram, Manichitrathazhu, and Thenmavin Kombath.
The supporting cast includes Farhaan Faasil, Maniyanpilla Raju, Binu Pappu, Irshad Ali, and Aarsha Chandini Baiju. The movie does not yet have an official release date.
