Mohanlal has two upcoming movies, temporarily titled L365 and L366. In each of them, he’ll play the role of a police officer. Mohanlal himself has confirmed this through the primary look posters published on his social media pages.
L365 is about to be directed by Austin Dan Thomas, marking his directorial debut. L366, alternatively, will likely be a Tharun Moorthy film. The actor-director duo’s previous collaboration, Thudarum, was an enormous success.
There’s also one other interesting factor value noting here. Mohanlal appears with out a beard in L366, something that has not happened in a protracted time. TS Lovelajan is the character Mohanlal is about to portray.
As we wait for these two movies, let’s take a look at three similar Mohanlal movies during which he plays a police officer.

Things take a dark turn when a serial killer emerges, murdering victims in alphabetical order and taunting the IG by sending letters before each crime. When the film was released, its songs became quite popular. While the movie has just a few flaws, including heavy reliance on coincidences and a few logical inconsistencies, it stays an enjoyable watch overall.
2. Mukham (1990)
- Directed by: Mohan
- IMDb Rating: 6.8/10
- Streaming On: YouTube & Jio Hotstar
Mukham is way more than simply an investigation thriller. It’s a social commentary on morality. A serial killer is targeting women, typically the wives of high society, highly influential, and politically connected men. A few of these women are involved in extramarital affairs, while in other cases, their life partners are unfaithful.
ACP Hariprasad, played by Mohanlal, is tasked with identifying the killer. At the identical time, he begins to suspect his own wife of being unfaithful to him. The film raises unsettling questions on our social constructs and the unspoken agreements of the fashionable moral order.
3. Olympian Anthony Adam (1999)
- Directed by: Bhadran
- IMDb Rating: 6.6/10
- Streaming On: YouTube
An investigation thriller set in a faculty, where Mohanlal goes undercover to uncover the identity of a toddler believed to be the offspring of a terrorist, hoping to make use of the kid as a result in track down the criminal. Meena plays the feminine lead, a teacher with serious anger management issues, who steadily mistreats students.
The film blends multiple genres, combining comedy, motion, investigation, and even touches of science fiction. Jagathy Sreekumar’s character Vattoli Porinchu stands out, along with his comedy scenes becoming iconic over time, largely on account of frequent television reruns.
