Deleted scene from Lucifer goes viral in social medias

Last day, as a special birthday treat for Mohanlal fans, the makers of ‘Lucifer’ released a deleted video from the movie. The scene comes right after the ‘Kadavulapole’ song and features Mohanlal in the famous Ray Ban sunglass and bullet combination. He is seen mocking the policemen as they return empty-handed from the crime scene. It is a terrific mass scene, which if included in the movie would have sent the crowd crazy. But, a section of cinephiles believe that it was a good call to edit out the scene as it doesn’t sync with the subtle behaviour of Stephen Nedumbally, the character essayed by Mohanlal.
