Mohanlal looks amazingly young and trim in this new teaser of Odiyan!

The wait is finally over as the makers of Odiyan have unveiled the young and fit avatar of Mohanlal. The veteran star looks terrific and robust in this new look sans moustache. He has done a remarkable job in achieving the same look as that in the first look poster. This 34 second teaser features Mohanlal as the mysterious Odiyan Manikyan and is well complemented by Sam CS’s excellent background score.

Odiyan is a fantasy film that will have a mix of action, romance and magical realism. It is primarily about Odividya, a black magic practice and people who practice it are called odiyans. National award winner Harikrishnan has scripted this movie and VA Shrikumar Menon is directing it.

The movie’s story is set in three different timelines starting from the pre-electricty days in the 1950s to 2000. Mohanlal’s Manikyan is a renowned odiyan who lived in the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border in Palakkad. The movie follows his life from his childhood to 60s; so the actor will be appearing in multiple looks as Manikyan.

Mohanlal has been on a break for over a month now to reduce his weight. He has been training with a team of 25 people who monitor his diet and workouts. Reportedly, he has shed around 15 kgs to play the younger part of Manikyan. The movie’s third schedule is expected to kick-start next week.

Odiyan also stars Manju Warrier, Prakash Raj, Kailas, Narain, Siddique, Nandu, Sana Althaf and Innocent in prominent roles. This big budget movie is funded by Mohanlal’s own production house Aashirvad Cinemas.
