Mohanlal has allotted only 40 days call sheets to shoot his portions in Murali Nagavalli's Alexander the Great.

Though the name suggests it to be a historical flick but instead it's a comical racy entertainer in which Mohanlal will play Alexander Varma, son of a Malayalee father and an Anglo Indian mother.

The movie evolves around the strong relationship between Alexander and his brother. Interestingly, Mohanlal will not have a heroine in this film.

Siddique, Jagathy Sreekumar and Innocent will appear in key roles in this film, to be produced by V.B.K. Menon under the banner of Anugraha Cine arts.
