Estimated at around Rs 3.5 crore (roughly 2.8 million dirhams), the property is registered in the name of his wife, Suchitra Mohanlal.A decision made on the spotAccording to the reports, the decision to buy the Burj Khalifa apartment wasn’t pre-planned. It happened spontaneously during one of Mohanlal’s visits to Dubai — a city he often frequents for both work and leisure.

This isn’t his only home in the UAE either. The actor also owns a villa in the posh Arabian Ranches neighbourhood and a spacious three-bedroom apartment in PR Heights Residence. Interestingly, the Burj Khalifa featured prominently in one of Mohanlal’s earlier films, Casanova, which was shot in Dubai.Meanwhile, back home in Kerala…While Mohanlal enjoys a luxurious lifestyle abroad, his films continue to draw massive crowds in Kerala.

The recent re-release of his 2007 hit ‘Chotta Mumbai’ has brought fans back to theatres in droves. Packed shows, cheers, and celebration prove one thing: whether on the 29th floor in Dubai or on the big screen in Fort Kochi, Mohanlal still reigns supreme.Mohanlal also made his grand comeback with Tharun Moorthy’s film ‘Thudarum’ which earned a solid 3 star out of 5 from ETimes with our official review reading, “Jakes Bejoy’s music elevates the scenes, making a real impact in the storytelling.

Shaji Kumar’s cinematography is excellent and it is perfectly coordinated with the edits by Shafeeque VB and Nishadh Yusuf. Their collective work lay the ground for the mood of the film.

Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Awards, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an ‘80s-’90s feel. For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around.”
