It may be recalled that only a couple of days ago, actor Mohanlal had expressed delight at the fact that he was teaming up with well-known producer Ashiq Usman for a second time for his upcoming film #L370. Taking to his X timeline to express his delight, Mohanlal had said, “Thrilled to team up with Ashiq Usman once again, this time under the direction of Jude Anthany Joseph for #L370.” Although very little is known about the upcoming film #L370, sources in the industry suggest that the film will be a colourful entertainer.
Interestingly, Jude Anthany Joseph’s last film was ‘Thudakkam’, which marked the acting debut of Mohanlal’s daughter, Vismaya Mohanlal. In fact, ‘Thudakkam’, which has been released and is having a fantastic run, has just completed 35 days in theatres.
Other production houses that alerted of fake casting calls
Kamal Haasan’s production banner, Raajkamal Films International, has issued a strong warning to the public about fraudulent casting calls. This move comes as reports of individuals falsely associating themselves with the production house have surfaced.
Before this, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD issued a statement warning fans and actors against fake casting calls. They also warned fans not to make payments to any individuals who were falsely claiming to represent them.
