"Pranav Mohanlal is set to leave an indelible footprint on this genre – Chakravarthy Ramachandra, Night Shift Studios"

Mumbai, May 9

The upcoming horror thriller of Pranav Mohanlal, son of actor Mohanlal, has finally got a title. The movie is titled 'Dies Irae'.

As per Variety, the principal photography has been wrapped, and the project is currently in post-production.

The studio's previous effort, 2024 monochrome period horror film "Bramayugam," starring Malayalam-language cinema superstar Mammootty, Arjun Ashokan and Sidharth Bharathan, directed by Sadasivan, was a box office success.

The film is produced under the banner of Night Shift Studios.

"With 'Bramayugam,' we were able to draw global attention to what Indian-horror thrillers could achieve. 'Dies Irae' is the next step in this pursuit. Pranav Mohanlal is set to leave an indelible footprint on this genre," says Chakravarthy Ramachandra, founder and producer of Night Shift Studios, as quoted by Variety.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, director Sadasivan hints that viewers can expect something distinctly different from his previous work.

"Compared to my previous films, 'Dies Irae' explores a diametrically opposite emotional spectrum which connects to the new generation," he says.

"While it stays true to the horror-thriller space, it's a very different beast in terms of narrative style and mood," added director Sadasivan as quoted by Variety.

A worldwide theatrical release is slated for later this year.

Exciting news! Bramayugam was brilliant, so expectations are sky-high for this one. Hope Pranav can step out of his father's shadow with this role. The Latin title 'Dies Irae' adds an intriguing touch 🤔

As a horror movie buff, I'm thrilled! Malayalam cinema is really pushing boundaries in this genre. The motion poster gave me chills - can't wait to see what fresh approach they're bringing this time. Hope it releases during Onam season!

Not sure about Pranav's acting chops yet - he's still finding his footing. But with the Bramayugam team backing him, this could be his breakthrough. The pressure is on after Mammootty's stellar performance in their last film.

The title means "Day of Wrath" - sounds intense! 😱 Love that Malayalam filmmakers are experimenting with global concepts while keeping local flavors. Hope they don't rely too much on jump scares though - psychological horror is where it's at!

Night Shift Studios is becoming the Blumhouse of India! Smart move to capitalize on Bramayugam's success. Hope they maintain the same production quality. The global attention comment makes me think they're eyeing international film festivals.
