Mohan Lal, Lijo Jose Pellissery come together for Malaikottai Valiban

Hyderabad: Mohanlal's next film will be with the acclaimed filmmaker Lijo Jose Pellissery. The project has been officially announced. There was a lot of hype the past few days regarding the film's title with the makers sharing bits and pieces of the film's poster on social media every few hours. Finally, the makers revealed the title of the film—'Malaikottai Valiban', which roughly translates to 'Young Man of Malaikottai'.

There is a lot of anticipation around the duo, Mohanlal-Lijo Jose Pellissery. While Mohanlal is a powerhouse performer who is a master in portraying any kind of role, Lijo has carved a niche for himself with his edgy, unconventional style of storytelling that plays up complexities of the human mind. We can expect the best from both.

The movie is set to go on the floors in January next year. The film will be shot mostly in Rajasthan. There are also reports that Mohanlal will play a wrestler in the film.

More details are awaited.
