Mohanlal's Athimanoharam Receives Conditional Permission to Film at Sabarimala
The Travancore Devaswom Board has granted conditional permission for the filming of Mohanlal's upcoming movie Athimanoharam at Sabarimala, including the Sannidhanam and surrounding areas. Conditions require the filmmakers to submit the full script, avoid negative portrayals of the temple or its traditions, deposit Rs 50,000 with the Board, and obtain separate Forest Department approval. This follows a prior controversy over unauthorized filming during the Makaravilakku season. Director Tharun Moorthy engaged with Board officials before receiving approval.
