There are strong indications of Mohanlal reteaming with director B Unnikrishnan after Villain, for a film scripted by Pulimurugan-fame Udayakrishna. Unnikrishnan shared a picture of himself alongside Mohanlal and Udayakrishna. 

This project, which marks Unnikrishnan's first collaboration with Udayakrishna, is expected to be a mass entertainer. The shoot is likely to commence in November after Mohanlal completes Drishyam 2.

Editor Shameer Muhammed and cinematographer Jomon T John are also part of the project.

Aside from Villain, Mohanlal has previously worked with B Unnikrishnan in Madambi, Mr. Fraud, and Grandmaster.

Unnikrishnan's last film was the Dileep-starrer Kodathi Samaksham Balan Vakeel, which did significant business at the box office.
