It is rare a Malayalam film sets world record and rarest when it is done by a debutant Director. Mohanlal starrer Bhagavan has set a new world record by completing the shooting in just 12 hours.

Even though Jayaraj's film Atbhutham was shot in 2 hours 14 minutes, it was an offbeat attempt and the whole action was limited to just two rooms and limited number of actors. While Bhagavan is a commercial venture, directed by newcomer Prashanth Mambully with a big budget and a stellar cast. Mohanlal appears in 52 of the 57 scenes.

This two-hour-long Malayalam thriller is about NSG commandos who rescue state home minister from a hospital building. Mohanlal plays one of the doctors who aids the operation of home minister in the hospital which is been taken over by terrorists.

Mohanlal's Dr.Balagopal, sees death face-to-face when he fights the terrorists along with the commandos. The film has scenes of commandos being airdropped a top the hospital.
