The teaser for the upcoming Malayalam film Hridayapoorvam, starring Mohanlal, has been released, offering a glimpse into a light-hearted family drama. The film, directed by Sathyan Anthikad, marks the 18th collaboration between the actor and director. Hridayapoorvam is scheduled for release on August 28, coinciding with Onam.

The teaser opens with a humorous interaction featuring Mohanlal's character and a character played by Sangeeth Prathap, who expresses his admiration for Fahadh Faasil, also known as "Fafa," as his favorite Malayalam actor. Mohanlal's character playfully responds by reminding him that there are many other senior actors in the industry. The teaser also introduces Malavika Mohanan's character. This playful exchange sets the tone for what appears to be a fun and engaging film.

Mohanlal himself unveiled the teaser on X (formerly Twitter), writing "#Hridayapoorvam official teaser". The film is written by Sonu T.P., based on a story by Akhil Sathyan. Hridayapoorvam is produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The film also stars Sangita Madhavan Nair, Siddique, Sabitha Anand, Baburaj, Nishan, Lalu Alex, and Janardhanan.

The release of the Hridayapoorvam teaser has generated excitement among fans, with many expressing their anticipation for the film's release in August. One fan commented, "This is going to be awesome," while another wrote, "Can't wait till August".

Hridayapoorvam marks Mohanlal's next major release following the success of Thudarum. Recently, the film faced some criticism regarding the age gap between Mohanlal and Malavika Mohanan. However, Mohanan clarified that she is not playing Mohanlal's love interest in the film, urging people to avoid making assumptions.

In addition to Hridayapoorvam, Mohanlal's upcoming projects include Drishyam 3, Patriot, and Ram. The actor also recently appeared in a cameo role in the Telugu film Kannappa.

In March 2025, Mohanlal met Anon, a 20-year-old fan with cerebral palsy, while shooting for Hridayapoorvam. Anon had wanted to meet Mohanlal for 15 years, and Mohanlal spent time with him during a break from filming in Vandiperiyar.
