The famous actor-director combo Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph are reuniting for the much-anticipated film 12th Man. The film’s filming, which is described as a mystery thriller, was just completed in Idukki. Sources close to the Mohanlal starrer have now given a significant change on the film’s release date.
As previously reported, 12th Man was produced as a direct-to-OTT film that would be distributed on Amazon Prime Video. According to the latest rumours, the creators are planning a Christmas release for Mohanlal’s film. If rumours are to be believed, the release date for the Jeethu Joseph directed film will be announced very soon.
