Mohanlal and Shobana’s Malayalam film Thudarum is all set to hit screens tomorrow. However, despite the buzz around their on-screen reunion, the promotional activity by the lead stars has been suspiciously quiet. While director Tharun Moorthy has been actively promoting the film and giving interviews to multiple portals across Kerala, the actors have taken a step back.

So why the silence?

In a recent interview, director Tharun Moorthy addressed this directly. When asked why Mohanlal and Shobana were not part of the pre-release promotions, he explained that it was a deliberate decision.
