Putting an end to the fans' prolonged anticipation, Mohanlal has provided a clear indication regarding the release of ‘Barroz,’ which marks the megastar's directorial debut. Mohanlal revealed that a significant portion of the film's re-recording has been successfully completed in Los Angeles, United States. The remaining work is currently in progress in Budapest, Hungary.

The film's special effects have been done in India and Thailand, with most of the other aspects nearing completion. Mohanlal expressed the hopeful expectation that ‘Barroz’ will delight audiences upon its release in December. The film is based on the narrative from Jijo Punnoose's novel titled 'Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama's Treasure.' Produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the Ashirvad Cinemas banner, Jijo Punnoose is credited with the screenplay.

Mohanlal takes on the central character in the film and what makes it truly unique is his inaugural role as a director in his 45-year film career. The cinematography is done by Santhosh Sivan, editing by Sreekar Prasad and art direction by Santhosh Raman. The musical score is composed by Lydian Nadaswaram.
