The much-awaited 'Malaikottai Valiban' helmed by auteur Lijo Jose Pellisery has reached a wrap. The shooting ended in Chennai and the Crew decided to celebrate it in all grandeur. The movie was already in the news for the strange yet promising collaboration of Lijo Jose Pellisery with Malayalam’s own Mohanlal. At the pack-up party organized, Mohanlal had his time with the mic and gave his usual eloquent speech laced with tranquility; which is now talked about on social media.

“ Lijo is a great director. Many people ask me how is he, and how good is he to work with. I would say rather it is for Lijo to find and explore us, let him remain an enigma. The shooting days were the best in recent times where we fought terrible weather, but it was fun. We are not thinking about the success of the movie but just focused on the product. Indian screens will witness an unprecedented movie experience with Malaikottai Valiban. Thank you all for considering me in this movie”. Mohanal commented.

The movie had 77 days of shooting in Rajasthan. The other major locations were Chennai and Pondichery. For more than five months, the post-production work will continue. The movie is intended to be released on Christmas 2023.
