Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s much-awaited movie Malaikottai Vaaliban’s trailer has been released. Jallikattu fame director Lijo Jose Pellissery has written and directed this film. Mohanlal is playing the lead in the film. The music is given by Prashant Pillai. Lijo Jose is joining hands with his frequent collaborators for the technical department of Malaikottai Vaaliban. The cinematography of the movie is handled by Madhu Neelakandan, while the editing is done by Deepu Joseph. Actors Sonalee Kulkarni, Hareesh Peradi, Manju Moses, Katha Nani, Danish Sait and Manikandan Achari are also playing prominent roles in the movie. The movie is slated to release in theatres worldwide on January 25. The trailer of the movie has now gone viral.

The trailer release took place at a grand event which was held at Kochi on January 18. Mohanlal believes that there has never been a film of this genre in Indian cinema. “Malaikottai Valiban made on a big canvas is a good movie that can be enjoyed without any prejudices," said Mohanlal, while promoting the movie at the trailer release event.

The cinematic spectacle of Lijo Jose Pellissery can be witnessed in this 143-minute-long trailer. As per the video, the story of the movie is expected to revolve around a revolt for freedom from the Britshers in an unspecified area of Rajasthan. The trailer begins with a voice-over of Hareesh Peradi in which he says: “There is no ecstasy like that of victory. I was lost in mirth, unaware of the treachery hidden in that moment." It is followed by the visuals of British oppression and the killing of local people. As they start losing hope, the arrival of Mohanal produces a new rebellion and saves the inhabitants from ruthless British oppression. Mohanlal, as usual, is depicting an action hero role in the movie.

The film will mark the first collaboration between Mohanlal and director Lijo Jose Pellissery. The movie is also set to release in approximately 35 European countries. With this, Malaikottai Vaaliban has created history by becoming the first Malayalam film ever to receive approval for screening in such a vast number of European countries.
