The official first look and motion poster of Mohanlal’s Odiyan have been released. The film which is a fantasy thriller will see the directorial debut of ad-film maker VA Shrikumar Menon. Produced by Mohanlal’s friend and Oppam maker Antony Perumbavoor, Odiyan is reportedly being made as the costliest all-time Malayalam film. The film, which will mark the 24th collaboration of the Mohanlal and Antony Perumbavoor stars Manju Warrier in the female lead.
Mohanlal took to his Facebook page to unveil the motion poster of Odiyan on Monday morning, July 3. The motion poster features Lalettan in an altogether different look as he can be seen in a clean-shaven look with a different hairstyle. It won’t be wrong to mention that the Malayalam superstar seems completely unrecognizable in the look. The stunning makeover of Mohanlal in the motion poster proves why versatility is a cakewalk for the 57-year old actor.
