Mohanlal Calls Monster A Rare Film For An Actor

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal was last seen in Jeethu Joseph's 12th Man. The film skipped theatrical release and premiered directly on Disney+ Hotstar. Now Mohanlal is getting ready for the release of his upcoming film, Monster. The film marks the reunion of the successful Pulimurugan combo, Mohanlal and director Vysakh. The film is all set to hit the theatres on October 21. Days ahead of the film, Monster has landed in trouble as the film has been banned in the Gulf countries due to LGBTQ content. The makers have applied the film for re-evaluation. It has been revealed that the ban of Monster has been lifted in Bahrain.

Mohanlal shared a video explaining why he sccepted the film. “I think this film is special for an actor. This film has a lot of surprising elements. All films have those but the very subject of this film is very special. Perhaps, this could be the first time in Malayalam cinema that a movie on a such subject is attempted so boldly. The screenplay of this film is the hero and the villain. I can only tell this much about the film. It’s very rare for an actor to get to do such movies. I’m very happy to have acted in this film,” Mohanlal said in a promotional video.
