A few candid revelations by the actor will also provide insights into the book and give it a new experience for readers.
In other news, Mohanlal has been the frontrunner of success courtesy of his two successive hits with L2: Empuraan and Thudarum. Both the films scored huge hits at the box office and went on to carve out indomitable fame.
Recently, the actor hosted a small celebration at his office with his producers for the success of his recent releases.
In pictures that went viral, the Malayalam superstar could be seen cutting a unique tiered cake that was adorned with caricatures of his characters Benz and Stephen from both films.

Mohanlal presents Padmarajan awards
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Recalling the rare privilege of working alongside P Padmarajan, actor Mohanlal said his works have stood the test of time. He was speaking at the 34th Padmarajan Award ceremony, held at Tagore Theatre and jointly organised by Air India Express and the Padmarajan Trust. 'It was mine and Mammootty's good fortune to be part of films made by filmmakers like Padmarajan and I V Sasi. Those films made us who we are today. I consider it a blessing to have acted in five of Padmarajan's films. His works, like Thoovanathumbikal, are still being discussed more today than at the time of their release which is a proof of how timeless they are. When a creator's work endures across decades, it is the greatest fulfilment an artist can receive,' said Mohanlal. The award ceremony coincided with the 80th birth anniversary of Padmarajan. The event also honoured the many technical collaborators who worked with him over the years.
