It’s exciting times for Malayalam cinema fans as updates on Mohanlal’s much-awaited project have been revealed. The Central Board of Film Certification has awarded the Lijo Jose Pellissery directorial a UA certificate. The movie has a runtime of 155 minutes.
Mohanlal could be playing a black magician or an illusionist in the film, according to speculations. The movie is scheduled for release on January 25, 2024, inviting audiences to uncover the truth on the big screen. A teaser shared earlier featuring Mohanlal in a striking pose with a scarf provided minimal information about the film.

Produced by John & Mary Creative, Century Films, and Maxlab & Saregama, the movie is based on a script by P S Rafeeque. Earlier, Lijo said that the idea for ‘Malaikottai Vaaliban’ took root years ago and matured into a comprehensive plot, with Rafeeq expanding the narrative. The film also features Sonalee Kulkarni, Hareesh Peradi, Danish Sait, Manoj Moses, Katha Nandi, and Manikandan Achari. The music of the movie is composed by Prashanth Pillai.
