Neru, helmed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Mohanlal has grabbed attention lately due to the reunion of the hit duo after their movie 12th Man. The courtroom drama began filming recently, and Mohanlal shared pictures of the puja function on his social media. The actor was not present at the set during the puja as he was busy shooting for Vrushabha. However, the latest news is that Mohanlal has now joined the cast and crew of Neru in Thiruvananthapuram after completing the first schedule of his pan-Indian epic actioner Vrushabha.
