Antony Perumbavoor's Aashirvad Cinemas announced through their official social media handles on February 10, Monday, that their next project, Hridayapoorvam, which would be bringing back the hit combination of Mohanlal and director Sathyan Anthikad, began filming after a traditional pooja ceremony.

The post, which featured the film's lead star lighting the lamp, thus setting off the project, was shared with the caption, "Requesting all your prayers and blessings as we embark on our next project, Hridayapoorvam. #AVD35 #hridayapoorvam (sic)"

A Cryptic Tease

A few months ago, Akhil Sathyan, the director's son, had earlier dropped a teaser about the much-anticipated project while sharing a picture of Mohanlal and Sathyan Anthikad with producer Antony Perumbavoor, along with the caption, "A super-fun Mohanlal-Sathyan Anthikad filmn on the way (sic)", along with a fire emoji. Sathyan Anthikad too spoke about how he was looking forward to present Mohanlal as a common man after the stupendous success of Jeethu Joseph's Neru.
