Malaikottai Valiban is the film that the Malayali audience is eagerly waiting for, in which Lijo Jose Pellissery and Mohanlal team up for the first time. Ever since the announcement, fans have been expecting a lot about the film.
All the updates that were released like the movie got attention in a big way. Another feature of the movie is Mohanlal’s different getup. Ronax Xavier, the make-up artist of the film, describes how he arrived at the look in Mohanlal’s film.
‘Valiban’s specialty is that the film does not mention a period. No time, no place, no language. Valiban tells a story that happened in a certain place. So there was a lot of freedom. We can do any look that is not related to the current era.
Lijo Chetan had given him the freedom to capture the most extreme of a look. I was told to do as much as possible to get the person to that look. I will show you many references. If it’s ok then we will go ahead with it. Lijo Chetan will tell you if you want to change something.
Since there is no period, you can try anything. What Lijo Chetan specifically said was only about Lal sir’s sketch. He was insistent on Lal sir’s look. A small cartoon of Lal sir’s sketch was drawn.
Then the beard and mustache were set to look like Lal sir. Later, the look test and costume trial are done to arrive at that look of Laleton,’ says Ronax Xavier.
Malaikottai Valiban is expected to hit the screens early next year. The big budget movie will be released in different languages.
