Just when you thought Indian cinema had already seen it all, Mohanlal drops a bombshell with the first look of ‘Vrushabha’, and honestly, it’s jaw-dropping.
Whether you’re a die-hard Mollywood fan or someone who enjoys grand, mythological tales like Baahubali or RRR, Vrushabha is going to grab your attention. This film is not just another period drama—it feels like something much bigger is brewing, and Mohanlal is right at the center of it, looking like a divine warrior reborn.
Let’s take a deeper dive into what makes Vrushabha one of the most awaited films of 2025.
That Poster Though… What a Powerful First Impression!
If you haven’t seen the poster yet, stop reading and go look at it. Seriously. Mohanlal, with that intense gaze, long wild hair flowing like he’s some ancient storm god, and those majestic shoulder armors—it’s pure cinema gold.
The background is glowing orange like a war-torn sunset, and he’s seen with folded hands. But it doesn’t feel like he’s praying. It feels more like he’s making a promise… maybe to avenge something or to fulfill a prophecy. The vibe is heavy, and we’re all here for it.
It instantly gives you chills and makes you think—what kind of role is this going to be for Mohanlal?
What We Know About the Story (So Far)
Although the team is keeping things hush-hush, there are whispers that Vrushabha is a story that moves across generations. So it won’t just be about one timeline or one lifetime—it’s about legacy, father-son dynamics, power, betrayal, and destiny.
There’s going to be action, of course, but not the over-the-top kind. This one feels like it’s going to mix emotion, inner conflict, mythology, and larger-than-life visuals.
Kind of like Ponniyin Selvan, but even more intense—if that’s possible.
Mohanlal in a Role We Haven’t Seen Before
Let’s talk about Mohanlal for a second.
This man is 64, and yet every time he comes on screen, it feels like he’s in his prime. From Lucifer to Marakkar, he’s been pushing his own boundaries lately, and Vrushabha seems like the peak of that journey.
He’s not just playing a king or a warrior. It looks like he’s going to embody a myth. The kind of character that becomes a legend in itself. And knowing Mohanlal, he’ll probably make us cry and cheer—sometimes at the same time.
This could easily turn into one of his most iconic roles ever.
A Star-Studded Cast With a Surprise Debut
Apart from Mohanlal, the cast includes some interesting names. Roshan Meka is rumored to play the younger generation role, possibly Mohanlal’s son. Then comes the big Bollywood twist—Shanaya Kapoor is making her acting debut in this movie!
That’s a bold move for her, and also very smart. Rather than going the typical rom-com route, she’s diving straight into a pan-India mythological drama. Respect.
The supporting cast has a mix of seasoned actors and new faces, which tells you this film is going to balance experience and freshness well.
The Scale Is Insane: Pan-India Release + Massive Budget
Let’s just say it out loud—Vrushabha is not a regional film. It’s a full-blown pan-India spectacle.
Here’s what we know:
- It’s being made in Malayalam and Telugu and will be dubbed in Hindi, Kannada, and Tamil.
- Backed by Ektaa Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms and AVS Studios.
- Budget is somewhere around ₹200 crore, which puts it right up there with films like Baahubali and KGF.
- High-end VFX work is being handled by a team that has even worked on international projects.
This is not just another big-budget film; this is Malayalam cinema going all in.
The Perfect Time for Mythology to Shine
We’re living in a time where people are falling in love with ancient stories again. From Adipurush to the upcoming Kalki 2898 AD, myth and fantasy are back in trend.
Vrushabha fits right into this wave—but with its own flavor. It has the emotion of a Malayalam drama, the action of a Telugu film, and the scale of a Bollywood epic.
It feels like a fusion of all Indian film strengths in one big, bold project.
When Is It Releasing?
There’s no official date yet, but word is that late 2025 is when they’re aiming for a theatrical release. Either Diwali or Christmas seems likely because let’s face it, a movie like this needs a festival vibe.
And yes, it’s 100% made for the big screen. Don’t even think about waiting for OTT on this one.
Should You Be Excited? Definitely.
Look, it’s easy to get lost in the hype when a poster drops, but with Vrushabha, the excitement feels justified.
Mohanlal looks like he’s ready to deliver a performance for the ages. The visuals promise something epic. The themes of love, revenge, and legacy are timeless. And the pan-India vibe means more people across the country will get to experience Malayalam storytelling at its best.
If you love mythology, powerful storytelling, and seeing legends do what they do best, Vrushabha should be on your radar.
Final Thoughts: The Bull Has Risen
They say ‘Vrushabha’ means bull, and from the looks of it, the bull has risen—and it’s ready to charge. Cinema lovers, get ready. Something big is coming.
