Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph have become a powerful duo after Drishyam and Drishyam 2. Currently, they are working on their third movie, Ram. Before fans could control their excitement, Mohanlal announced their fourth upcoming project, which is a thriller-mystery, 12th Man. "Happy to announce my upcoming movie '12th MAN' with #JeethuJoseph, produced by @antonypbvr under the banner @aashirvadcine," he tweeted.
First poster of '12th Man' has been unveiled
The post also included the film's first poster that read, "12th Man Unveiling The Shadows." It featured 11 people inside a dim-lit cottage, and the 12th man walking toward the door, during a foggy night. Produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner Aashirvad Cinemas, the film has KR Krishnakumar as the writer, and Satheesh Kurup is the cinematographer. Nothing more has been revealed yet.

Movie is a '24-hour story with suspense and an entertainer'
This mystery thriller movie will go on floors after the "government gives the go-ahead," TOI quoted Joseph as saying. The director further gave details about the movie's plot, and said it will be a "24-hour story with suspense and an entertainer." It will be filmed in Thodupuzha in Kerala (the same place where Drishyam was shot) and will not have "many artists."
Only Mohanlal has been finalized till now
"It was something we wanted to be able to shoot under pandemic conditions," the director told the publication, without giving out much, and added that "Apart from Mohanlal, other artists have not been finalized, because things could change a bit here and there."
