Kanal, the M Padmakumar flick is all set to release on October 22nd. The film touted as a revenge thriller has the most valuable star in Malayalam in the lead and you all know that it is the Universal star Mohanlal. Along with him the flick had a great star cast of Anoop Menon, Honey Rose, Sheelu Abraham, Pratap Pothen, Atul Kulkarni etc.

But as per reports the films tried to make use of Mohanlal, the actor than Mohanlal the star. There has been a criticism against Mohanlal in recent times that he is not doing films which offers him the scope to perform and use his enormous skill as a pure actor. He is wasting his talent by doing certain craps which is made in the name of entertainment. Most of those films made good money at box office owes to his star value which is unbelievably bigger than any actors in this M-Town now. But that also denying us the chance to see the Complete Actor Mohanlal who mesmerized us with his heavenly acting skills and that which made him probably the greatest ever actor who had graced the silver screen in Indian cinema history.

Many are making money using his name and also denying us the chance to see the real Mohanlal class as well. But Kanal is reportedly against this trend. Before the shooting of the film director M Padma Kumar said that through this film he want to challenge Mohanlal as an actor than a star. Challenging Mohanlal as an actor is close to impossible that we all know. But giving him a character that is not a cake walk for him is very much important as well. Padma Kumar has done that as per reports in Kanal.

Mohanlal is playing a character which an antagonistic touch in this film and that will be a welcome change for him as an actor and the same for the audience as well. Mohanlal had to know that his fans as well as film lovers want to play more class roles and characters than Peruchazhi kind of roles and people really want to say that this is our Mohanlal who is unarguably one of the best in the world. Hoping that Kanal will bring us back that Mohanlal, the actor in him than the star image that is hiding his still underexplored talent. The man who is still the most loved artist in Kerala hopefully will be back as an actor through Kanal and as a star he is still the best in the business.
