Manju Warrier to have three looks in Mohanlal’s Odiyan Movie

The latest reports from Mollywood says that actress Manju Warrier will have three looks in Mohanlal’ upcoming movie diyan drected by Shrikumar Menon. The movie has already created headlines by showing Mohanlal in a new avatar. Mohanlal’s rigorous training to lose weight and appear ‘younger’ for his role in the movie has been the headlines recently. 

And in an interview to a famous daily, the director said that, it’s not just Mohanlal who would be seen in different looks but Manju Warrier as well, who will portray the different stages of life of her character. “Her character is shown in her late 20s, at 35 and in her 50s. She will have three looks in the movie. Her character is pivotal as both Mohanlal’s and Prakash Raj’s roles revolve around her,” says the director. 

He also added that, her role will be one of most powerful woman characters in Malayalam cinema and It’s definitely one of the finest roles she has played.
“She has had a stellar career, but the role that stands out is that in Aaram Thampuram, because she was pitted against Mohanlal. In her comeback movies, apart from Ennum Eppozhum, most of her roles were solo heroine movies. I believe actors excel in their roles when they share screen space with other brilliant performers. In Odiyan, she is pitted against two of India’s finest actors — Mohanlal and Prakash Raj ” says the director. 

On working with Mohanlal, Manju says, “Movies with Lalettan have always been memorable — in terms of shooting as well as the acceptance they have got. I am expecting the same for Odiyan too because it’s got a strong character and brilliant script. It’s the first time I am working with Prakash Raj sir, so it’s really a blessing.” 

Meanwhile, director Shrikumar says unlike in Manju’s previous films such as Aaram Thampuran, in which her character is rarely present after the interval, “she is there throughout the movie and has to sustain the momentum for the whole film, which she does”.During the upcoming schedule, set to begin in February 5, the younger portions of the character will be shot. The Fantasy thriller movie also have Narain, Siddique, Innocent and Sana Althaf in important roles.
