Kochi, December 25 - Malayalam superstar Mohanlal made his directorial debut with the fantasy entertainer Barroz which was released on December 25. The movie, which stars Mohanlal in the lead role, however, has bombed at the box office with a lifetime collection heading to finish under 25 crores gross. ## The recent few films of Mohanlal haven't performed well at the box office, however, the shock that Barroz has given seems to be bigger than all. It is believed to be the costliest Mollywood film ever with over 150 crores. ## In a viral video on X, Barroz's marketing head Dr. Sharon Thomas has reportedly claimed that Barroz has been made on a budget of over 150 crores. The film is produced by Antony Perumbavoor of Aashirvad Cinemas which is the regular collaborator of Mohanlal's films. ## In the video, Sharon Thomas can be heard saying that Mohanlal's vision for the movie was to give something back to Indian cinema which has given him so much over the years. The actor-filmmaker expected to be a perfect film in that aspect but everything turned upside down as far as the box office result is concerned. ## Given the fact that Malayalam cinema doesn't have Pan India market appeal, the said budget is shocking as it would require the movie to become the biggest Mollywood grosser by a long margin which is not gonna happen. ## Dr. Sharon Thomas (Marketing head of #Barroz ) has reportedly said the film was made in a budget of around 150 crores 😮Maybe its based on the whole sum after marketing, promotions.etcBut whatever it is isn't it a gigantic amount of loss for Aashirvad and Team.? pic.twitter.com/XLrDtPIfm0— ELTON 🧢 (@elton_offl) December 30, 2024 ## Stay tuned...
