The breathtaking teaser of Mohanlal’s most hyped movie —Malaikottai Vaaliban is out. The teaser shows the actor in a never-seen-before avatar that leaves his fans with goosebumps.
In a statement, Mohanlal said, “The captain of the ship, Lijo has created a grand spectacle, a glimpse of which the audience will be able to see in this teaser.”
Malaikottai Vaaliban marks the first project of Yoodlee Films with Mohanlal.
Siddharth Anand Kumar, Senior Vice-President of Films & Events at Saregama India Ltd said, “Lijo Jose Pellissery has not only created a vast canvas but assembled a sterling ensemble cast headlined by the legendary Mohanlal. This is one of our most significant ventures in Malayalam cinema as its theme, grandeur and emotional resonance have undeniable universality.”
The film will be dubbed and released simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi.
Director Lijo Jose Pellissery said, “For me, the process of finalising a theme doesn’t originate from the pressure to create the next big hit. It is a natural progress. The basic idea of Malaikottai Vaaliban began germinating within me a couple of years ago and then metamorphosed into a comprehensive plot.”
He added, “A writer like Rafeeq expanded that world, and we realised that Lalettan (Mohanlal) was the perfect fit for that role.
Shibu Baby John said, “As a long-time acquaintance of Mohanlal when I decided to foray into filmmaking, I wanted to have him in the lead role. When a talented director like Lijo joins hands with Mohanlal, we can expect an entertainer that the people will love for sure.”
Sonalee Kulkarni, Hareesh Peradi, Danish Sait, Manoj Moses, Katha Nandi, and Manikandan Achari play significant roles in Malaikottai Vaaliban.
Madhu Neelakandan is the cinematographer. Prashanth Pillai is the music composer.
Marking Lijo Jose Pellissery’s birthday on 18 September, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal announced the release date of the film — 25 January 2024.
Malaikottai Vaaliban will have a worldwide release. It is the most hyped movie of recent times as Mohanlal and Lijo Jose Pellissery have teamed up for the first time.
The poster, featuring Mohanlal in a fiery look with an iron kada around his neck and pulling on battling ropes, is a sensation on the internet.
John & Mary Creative, Max Labs, Century Films, and Saregama India Ltd are bankrolling Malaikottai Vaaliban.
The movie was shot in 130 days in Rajasthan, Chennai, and Pondicherry.
The script is by PS Rafeeque, who earlier worked with Lijo Jose in Nayakan (2010) and Amen (2013).
Edited by Deepu Joseph, the film is designed by Ronex Xavier.
