Barroz to have a duration of less than 2 hours
Interestingly, the ambitious project of Mohanlal is quite different from the standard Indian feature films in almost every aspect. If the recent updates are to be believed, Barroz has a duration of less than 2 hours, which would make it one of the shortest films in the career of the Malayalam superstar. The movie, which is touted to be a completely experimental project, is expected to be a unique cinematic experience for Malayalam audiences.

All about Barroz
The 3D fantasy film was officially launched in 2021 at a grand event held in Kochi and attended by some of the biggest names in the Malayalam film industry. However, the production of Barroz was delayed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple lockdowns. It also resulted in the exit of many cast members, including Prithviraj Sukumaran, who was supposed to play a pivotal role.
Later, Jijo Punnoose, who penned the story of Barroz, also walked out of the project, citing creative differences with Mohanlal. Kalavoor Ravikumar later replaced him as the writer of the project. The cast and crew eventually wrapped up the shooting of the film in March 2023. The post-production works of Barroz, which is a VFX-heavy film made in 3D format, are now nearing completion. The project is bankrolled by Aashirvad Cinemas.
