In June this year, the makers had announced that ‘another perfect schedule’ of the film had been wrapped up.
Taking to his Instagram page to make the announcement, director Tharun Moorthy had said, “Yet another perfect schedule wrapped up! Through rain, heat, and every challenge along the way, my team has been in terrific form. We’ve said goodbye to so many beautiful locations, and many outstanding actors have successfully completed their parts.”

Can’t wait for all of you to experience the Athimanohara energy, and Athimanohara vibe of this film and see what we’ve created together with our Lalettan. #Athimanoharam #Mohanlal #Meerajasmine.”
Earlier in June, the director had trashed online news reports that had claimed that shooting for the film had been stopped due to a confusion in the script.
Taking to his Instagram stories section to put out a clarification, Tharun Moorthy had said, ” Dear friends, I am receiving many messages and calls regarding online news claiming that our shoot has been stopped due to confusion in the script. This is completely false.”
He went on to clarify,”We have been shooting here in Thodupuzha for the past 78 days. Yes, the rain and weather conditions have affected some of our plans, but our team is working hard to overcome every challenge and continue filming with great enthusiasm and positivity.”
The director then went on to make an appeal to the general public. He wrote, “I kindly request everyone not to post or spread unverified information for personal likes, views, or reach.

For the unaware, the film, which was initially being referred to as #L366, has Mohanlal playing a policeman called T S Lovelajan in it.

Recently, Tharun Moorthy had thanked the entire cast and crew of ‘Athimanoharam’ for their wholehearted support to his film.
Taking to his Instagram page, he had said, “(The) Producer and Director are often called the father and mother of a film. But no child grows on love alone; it takes an entire ecosystem to nurture it into something meaningful and beautiful for the world.”
He went on to say, “For us, that ecosystem is everything. We didn’t just make a film. We held it close, cared for it, and loved it like our own. And in that journey, it was our team who became its heartbeat. Every member of the crew poured a piece of themselves into it , their passion, their sleepless nights, their unwavering belief.”
“Together, we became more than a crew. We became a living, breathing force — one vision, one rhythm, one shared soul. That energy didn’t just surround us, it consumed us… made us think cinema, breathe cinema, and live it in every moment. This film carries all of us within it,” he explained.
“To our incredible crew — this isn’t just a thank you, it’s a piece of our heart. These 55 days weren’t just work, they were a journey we’ll carry forever. And somehow, this feels like just the beginning. The days ahead… they hold something even more beautiful,” he signed off.
It may be recalled that the director had, in February this year, confirmed that the first schedule of his eagerly awaited film had been completed. The director also used the occasion to point out that he had completed five years in the film industry on February 12.
