Pulimurugan first poster: Mohanlal doesn't quite fit in
Looks like Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is trying a little too hard to stay relevant in an industry full of newcomers obsessed more with carving out superphysiques than honing their acting skills. Just take a look at the first poster of director Vysakh's new film Pulimurugan, released on Thursday.
Looks like Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is trying a little too hard to stay relevant in an industry full of newcomers obsessed more with carving out superphysiques than honing their acting skills. Just take a look at the first poster of director Vysakh's new film Pulimurugan (Tiger Murugan), released on Thursday.
He looks jaded, out of shape, and his stylised beard and cloth-bandaged hands and legs just don't fit-in to the image we have of this talented actor. Add to this the film's tagline -- The Wild Hunter -- and we already get the feeling that this will be one film he would soon want to erase from his CV. The poster shows the actor in a crouched position with one hand firmly on the ground and the other pushed back.
