As per recent updates, the legendary and nuanced Malayalam superstar-actor will don two different looks in Malaikottai Valiban, touted as a sports-based action thriller. For those unaware, Mohanlal is reportedly playing an aging boxing champion in the Lijo Jose Pellissery directorial.
If the reports are true then the superstar's first look in the film will feature him in a bulkier look, with a long beard. For his second get-up, Mohanlal plans to lose a few kilos for his second look at the project. Alleged and unconfirmed reports also suggest that he will finally bid adieu to his beard look, after a long gap of over five years, for his second get-up in Malaikottai Valiban. This news surely will pique curiosity of ardent Mohanlal fans across the globe.
The action thriller is said to feature some of the finest talents of Indian cinema in pivotal roles.
