Shraddha Srinath has announced that she has joined director B Unnikrishnan's next Malayalam film with Mohanlal. 

The big-budget project is said to be a mass entertainer with Mohanlal playing a rustic character after a long time. Pulimurugan-fame Udayakrishna has penned the script.

Sharing the news on her social media handle, Shraddha wrote, "The first project that I will be starting work on post lockdown, with the legendary Mohanlal sir, under the direction of Unnikrishnan sir along with a fantastic team. A Malayalam film after 5 years. I couldn't be happier."

The yet-to-be-titled project marks the Kannada actor's second Malayalam film after 2015's Kohinoor, which starred Indrajith, Asif Ali, and Vinay Forrt. The makers will be revealing more details soon.

B Unnikrishnan has been a frequent collaborator of Mohanlal, having directed him in four thrillers. The duo last worked together in Villain, which had Tamil actor Vishal as the antagonist.
