Anybody who is aged 60 and above is eligible to get the vaccine in the second phase of the coronavirus vaccination drive, as are people who are aged 45 and above and have comorbidities. While the vaccination is given free of cost at the government facilities, people can also get the shots at private hospitals at a nominal charge. Those who fall under the eligibility can schedule their appointment at the nearest vaccination centre using the Co-WIN 2.0 portal or through other IT applications such as Aarogya Setu.

On the career front, Mohanlal is basking in the success of his latest film Drishyam 2. The thriller was released on Amazon Prime Video last month and garnered a lot of love from the critics and the audience. He is currently busy with the pre-production work of directorial debut Barozz. Barozz is said to go on floors in the first week of April.

Billed as a children’s fantasy drama, Barroz will star popular Spanish actors Paz Vega and Rafael Amargo. Barroz is the big-screen adaptation of filmmaker-writer Jijo Punnoose’s story Barroz – Guardian of D’ Gama’s Treasure. Mohanlal has roped in the 15-year-old child prodigy Lydian Nadhaswaram to score music for the film.
