There is a martial artist inside Mohanlal: Rosshan Andrrews

A photo of Mohanlal uploaded by director Roshan Andrrews in his social media handle is still ruling the social media platforms. The photo was from the sets of Kayamkulam Kochunni in which Mohanlal is playing the role of Ithikkara Pakki. The 57-year-old superstar can be seen lifting one leg to more than 90 degrees with east, which speaks volumes about his agility and flexibility even at this age.

Rosshan Andrrews who has worked with Mohanlal previously in Udayananu Tharam, Casanovva and
Evidam Swargamanu, feels that there is a martial artist inside the actor. Apparently, Mohanlal didn’t need any special training for performing the stunts in Kayamkulam Kochunni. Though the movie has some risky stunts, Mohanlal has done them very effortlessly.

Kayamkulam Kochunni scripted by the National award winning duo Bobby and Sanjay is based on the life of legendary highwayman Kochunni, who was active in 19th century in the Travancore region. Young star Nivin Pauly plays Kochunni’s role in the movie. As per the makers, Mohanlal as Ithikara Pakki makes his appearance at a very crucial juncture in the story and has around 40 minutes screen time.

Ithikara Pakki is known to be the first legendary Robin Hood of Kerala; he and Kochunni were contemporaries. It was Pakki who started the unique style of robbing, which was later continued by Kochunni. Combination scenes between Mohanlal and Nivin Pauly would be the movie’s major highlight.

Kayamkulam Kochunni also stars Priya Anand, Sunny Wayne, Babu Antony and Kannada actress Priyanka Thimmesh in major roles. Mohanlal has already finished his portions. The team will soon be heading to Sri Lanka for the final schedule. Gokulam Gopalan of Sri Gokulam Films is producing this big budget movie.
