The trailer of Hridayapoorvam raises the intrigue as Mohanlal’s character says he is in a ‘scattered and confused’ situation.
The highly awaited trailer of Mohanlal‘s Onam release, Hridayapoorvam, is out! This slice-of-life drama sees Mohanlal play a man who finds himself in a complex crisis of sorts, but how will he explain his situation to the people around him? Also starring Malavika Mohanan and Sangeeth Prathap, the almost 2-minute-long trailer raises the intrigue without revealing much about the plot.

About the trailer
What is troubling Mohanlal’s character in the film? In a long monologue that opens the trailer, he tries to explain himself, with Sangeeth’s character trying hard to decode what exactly the matter is.
Mohanlal says in Malayalam, “When something we try to hide slips past us unnoticed like a breeze sneaking in through a half-closed door and brushes against us without warning. But sometimes it may be a breeze we didn’t wish for. As we sway and stumble, in the profound depths of it, even without us knowing, we would feel scattered and confused. You know that situation? I am in that situation now!” Sangeeth looks more puzzled at this explanation.
The trailer then slips past a montage of shots from the film that sees Mohanlal interacting with Malavika Mohanan, contemplating inside a room, and trying to get answers for his own satisfaction.
Cast and crew
Akhil Sathyan has penned the story of Hridayapoorvam, directed by Sathyan Anthikad, while Justin Prabhakaran is the music composer. Antony Perumbavoor of Aashirvad Cinemas has produced the film.
