Mohanlal who is on a high with the success of his latest release Drishyam 2 has recently wrapped the shoot of Aaraattu. The 60-year-old who is set to make his directorial debut with Barozz, a big-budget 3D fantasy project that would reportedly feature an international cast, found himself in hot soup recently when he posted a Women’s Day wish with words from the ancient text Manusmriti, which is said to be anti-feminist.
India opened up Covid-19 vaccination for a larger group of beneficiaries on March 1. All citizens above 60 and those within the age bracket of 45 to 59 years with specified co-morbidities are the beneficiaries of this second phase of the vaccination drive.
