Mohanlal will be starring as Indian freedom fighter Nair San in an Indo-Japanese production financed in the Middle East with a budget rumoured to be as high as $50 million.
Jackie Chan will also make a cameo appearance in the movie, reputedly being paid six times more than Mohanlal for his services! Japanese actress Shunsuke Matsuoka will also appear. The movie will be shot in several languages for worldwide distribution including Hindi, Japanese and English.
A.R Rehman is composing the music for this international production
Noted Malayali director Albert will direct the film.
Mohanlal is learning Japanese and Chinese for his upcoming Japanese movie about an Indian freedom fighter. ‘I have to dub the film and speak in Japanese and Chinese. I have to learn the languages,’ Mohanlal told. ‘It is a Japanese film.’
Mohanlal said he personally knew Nair San, who had later opened a restaurant chain by the same name in Japan.
‘I know that person. I have met him and I have been to his restaurants in Japan also, long back - I am talking about 23 years back.
Shooting for the new project, the first Japanese film by an Indian director, starts Sep 3 and locations will be spread across Japan, China and Mongolia.
‘It is 160 days of shooting for me. The film will cover the life of Nair San from his age of 35 till his death,’ Mohanlal said

Oh/My god, How Mohan will adjust with Jackie Chan. I cant believe it because Jackie is an actor Lal need only a Type films like Spadikam,Narasimham…etc (Thallipoli Padangal)How we compared mohanlal with jackie.
Yes Yes But Mr.Manu must see the film “UYARANGALIL”. Released in the year 1984 and also the film “padamudra”. Then say some thing about Mohanlal. To make money MohanLal usually act in Ugly films
Hi Manu, You are just a child to understand the dimesnions of actor Mohanlal. One thing is correct, nobody can compare Actor Mohanlal with Jackie, who is just a fighter, Not an actor.
hai monu,
Just like your name u r a monu(a Kid).Who is to blame if u have seen only his thallipoli padangal.Even that thallipoli padangal is worth watching than that of kungfu master .can u make jackie even to attempt a film like vanaprastam ,aakasagopuram,paradesi,bharatam,kalapani,..iruvar…and tons and tons
dude everyone has his own talent mohanlal cant do what jackie dose nither jackie can do what mohanlal dose, dont compare what cannot be compared
Another great achievement to be written in the history of Mohanlal’s carrier…..one great actor……whose talent has amazed many greats……

another good film for lal
WHO KNOW MOHANLAL BEYOND KERALA.HE IS JUST AN ANOTHER ACTOR.AND WE SHOULD BE BLAMED TO TOLERATE MOHANLAL FOR SOO MUCH YEARS. ANOTHER FACT IS THAT WE ALL ARE USED TO MOHAN LALS FACE AND ACTING. LIKE WE USED TO HATE SANTRO CAR WHEN IT CAME TO MARKET FIRST TIME. LATER IT BECAME THE FIRST CHOICE OF POPLE. SME THING HAPPENED WITH MOHAN LAL. NOTHING GREAT IN HIM.
