Mohanlal's Chotta Mumbai To Re-Release In Theatres After 18 Years
Last Updated: Chotta Mumbai, starring Mohanlal, returns to theatres on June 6, 2025, in 4K. Directed by Anwar Rasheed, the film is celebrated for its iconic cast and nostalgic value. Chotta Mumbai is coming back on the big screen and it's like 2007 never left. The iconic Mohanlal-starrer hit theatres again on June 6, 2025, and Malayalis everywhere are turning up in full force to relive the magic. Directed by Anwar Rasheed, this action-comedy gem was the film that defined cool for an entire generation. And now, watching it in all its upgraded 4K glory will ignite pure nostalgia in fans. Videos doing the rounds on social media show packed houses in places like Kottayam, with whistles, cheers, and goosebumps galore. One fan summed it up perfectly on social media, 'Chotta Mumbai is not just about Lalettan. It's a full-blown celebration of legends like Rajan P. Dev, Kalabhavan Mani, Haneefikka, and Jagathy Chettan." Another wrote, 'It's better than many of today's releases! That sound, those visuals, that crowd—it's a lifetime celebration!" The man of the hour, Mohanlal himself, shared a heartfelt message along with a throwback still from the film. He wrote, 'Thanks for all the love. #Chottamumbai4k now in theatres near you!" The film follows Vasco Da Gama aka Thala, played by Lalettan, who's the ultimate carefree rebel with a gang of equally jobless besties. They live life on their own terms—until a showdown with a corrupt cop/gangster shakes things up. The film's legendary lineup includes Indrajith Sukumaran, Jagathy Sreekumar, Kalabhavan Mani, Siddique, Manikuttan, and Bijukuttan. On the work front, Lalettan was last seen in Thudarum, a gripping thriller that's now streaming on JioHotstar. He'll also be making a cameo in Kannappa and is all set to reunite with Sathyan Anthikad for Hridayapoorvam. Mohanlal has enjoyed a remarkable career in Indian cinema for over 40 years, appearing in more than 400 films across genres. Recognising his immense contribution to the industry, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri in 2001 and later the Padma Bhushan in 2019—India's fourth and third highest civilian honours, respectively. In a historic move, Mohanlal was also conferred with the honorary rank of lieutenant colonel in the Territorial Army in 2009, becoming the first Indian actor to receive such an honour.
