Mohanlal the all in one actor who has done Janata Garage with NTR is now doing a movie with director Priyadarshan.
Mohanlal is all set to be in the boxing ring for the ace director.
Priyadarshan and Mohanlal are teaming up again for another movie. The director-actor duo’s last film was the 2016 thriller Oppam, in which Mohanlal played a blind man. Their mega film Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham, is awaiting release.
These days the boxing films are doing well. Priyadarshan and Mohanlal will team up for a sports drama in which the actor will essay the role of a boxer.
Director Priyadarshan said his upcoming film with Mohanlal will be the story of a boxer, his rise to fame and fall. “Mohanlal and I have done all kinds of films together. But we have never done a sports film.
I have always been fascinated by Scorsese’s Raging Bull. So you could say this would be our Raging Bull,” he was quoted as saying.
Priyadarshan said Mohanlal would have to lose 15kg for the role and gain it back and also add 10 more kgs to show the ageing boxer. The director is confident of Mohanlal pulling it off at the age of 61.
