Mohanlal says that it is almost impossible to shoot using a real Leopard as its speed is awesome and a man running with Leopard will look very unrealistic. On the other side Tiger does not have that much speed like a Leopard and it has a weight of above 300 kilos that reduces its speed compared to that of a Leopard. More than that it is hard to get trained leopards but trained Tiger is available for shoot. That is the main reason why they used a tiger in this film.

He also answers about the queries related to the title Pulimurugan. In Malayalam, a tiger is called Varayan puli and leopard is called Pullippuli. So the name Puli Murugan is justified as the varayan Puli (Tiger) is used in this film.
