The makers of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s upcoming film, tentatively titled #L370, have warned the public about fake audition calls circulating in the film’s name.

The team clarified that it has neither authorised nor announced any auditions or casting requirements for the project at this stage.

Director Jude Anthany Joseph, who will helm #L370, took to social media to alert the public about the fraudulent audition calls.

He wrote, “Please be aware of fake audition posters, messages, or calls circulating in the name of L370. We have not authorised or announced any auditions or casting requirements for L370 at this time. Please do not share personal information, documents, or make any payments in response to such calls or posts. For any official casting announcements, please rely only on our verified and authorised communication channels. Please stay alert and beware of fraud.”

A couple of days ago, Mohanlal had expressed his excitement about reuniting with well-known producer Ashiq Usman for his upcoming film #L370.

Taking to X, Mohanlal wrote, “Thrilled to team up with Ashiq Usman once again, this time under the direction of Jude Anthany Joseph for #L370.”

Ashiq Usman’s production house, Ashiq Usman Productions, also expressed excitement about collaborating with Mohanlal for a second film.

The production house wrote, “Proud and thrilled to announce our next production, L370. Featuring the one and only Lalettan, the legendary actor who continues to inspire generations.

“Another special journey, another unforgettable collaboration with a true icon.

“Directed by @judeanthanyjoseph L370, the journey begins. #L370 #Lalettan #Mohanlal #JudeAnthanyJoseph #ashiqusman.”

Interestingly, Jude Anthany Joseph’s previous film was ‘Thudakkam’, which marked the acting debut of Mohanlal’s daughter Vismaya Mohanlal. The film has enjoyed a strong theatrical run and recently completed 35 days in cinemas.

Mohanlal took to X to celebrate the milestone, writing, “Celebrating 35 glorious days and the incredible people who made #Thudakkam possible. This journey is ours. This love is yours.”

Meanwhile, producer Ashiq Usman recently announced the completion of shooting for ‘Athimanoharam’, his first collaboration with Mohanlal. A week ago, Usman announced that the team had wrapped up filming and moved on to dubbing. The film, which stars Meera Jasmine as the female lead, has generated considerable interest among fans and film enthusiasts.

‘Athimanoharam’, initially referred to as #L366, features Mohanlal as a police officer named T S Lovelajan. Tharun Moorthy has directed the film.

While the makers have revealed little about #L370 so far, industry sources suggest that the upcoming film will be a colourful entertainer.
