The wait for Mohanlal’s magnum opus ‘Odiyan’ is coming to an end. According to the reports, the movie will write a new history in Malayalam Cinema. The movie’s director Shrikumar Menon in an exclusive interview to Keralakaumudi Online, said that there are many stories behind Odiyan.

“Prakash Raj’s villain character, Ravunni will give a tough challenge to the hero. If I am right, once Sir M.T Vasudevan said that in the best scripts, villains are born first. A villain should be tough enough to go head to head with the hero. Even though hero was created first here, Ravunni will present serious challenges for Odiyan Manikyan. Ravunni will be one of the greatest ever characters in Malayalam Cinema”, Shrikumar Menon said.

Odiyan will release on December 14 in 37 countries worldwide. It has already created a record by garnering Rs 100 crore through pre-release business.
