Mohanlal’s upcoming film “Athimanoharam” is granted permission to shoot at Sabarimala, according to reports. The permission is aimed at allowing the production to film at the hill shrine as part of its schedule.

Sources note that the Devaswom Board allows the shoot subject to religious and site-related conditions. The reports say the film team is expected to follow rules designed to maintain the sanctity of the pilgrimage location and its traditions, including avoiding any depictions considered negative or disrespectful. The conditions are described as strict.

Times of India adds context about the film’s wider production and release plans, saying the movie is scheduled for a global theatrical release on December 24. It also describes the story as centering on a police sub-inspector dealing with career and personal dilemmas. Other coverage focuses primarily on the permission and the fact that the second schedule is likely to take place at Sabarimala.
