Mohanlal’s films have always enjoyed a unique fan following. Whenever one of his movies releases, theatres are packed. Currently, *Drisyam 3* is dominating the box office, crossing the ₹100-crore mark in just three days. But not every Mohanlal film enjoys such a reception. Several of his movies have underperformed at the box office, and one such film is his directorial debut, *Barroz 3D*. He had high hopes for this film, but it turned out to be a major disappointment, failing to recover its massive budget.
Over his 45-year career, Mohanlal has acted in over 400 films, with more than 200 becoming hits and many others ending up as flops. Yet, none of his films had generated as much anticipation as *Barroz 3D*—his dream project. Instead of delivering, the film shattered expectations, leaving both the actor and the makers disheartened. *Barroz 3D* marked Mohanlal’s first and only attempt at direction, and he never pursued directing again after its failure.
