Mollywood's superstar Mohanlal will be shedding close to 15 kilos to get into the skin of his character Manikyan in the upcoming ambitious project Odiyan directed by VA Shrikumar Menon. While the shooting of the movie is progressing with his current look, the actor will be sporting a younger trimmed avatar for another part of the film. 

Now the latest that we hear is the actor is all set to take a three-months break and hit the gym to loose weight for his much anticipated look.  As you know, the actor had earlier stated that he will go to any extent to lose weight, even if he has to starve! This will be the first time, Mohanlal will be undergoing a drastic makeover for a film after so many years. 

In the movie, Mohanlal plays the last surviving member of a tribal community called Odiyan in Kerala. Mohanlal will be seen in the role of Manikyan, a man who is mastered in Odividya and will be featured in the age of 30 to 65 in multiple looks. 'Odiyan' will have Manju Warrier in the female lead along with Prakash Raj and Sathyaraj in important roles.
