The film that presented Mohanlal to Malayalam cinema with massive hype was Odiyan, directed by Sreekumar Menon. In that movie, Mohanlal appeared without a beard and moustache for the portions that included his younger years. For this, Mohanlal underwent significant changes to his body and face. After that, he had not acted in Malayalam cinema without a beard. Some people even criticised this, claiming it was due to issues with his face.

Now, Mohanlal’s beardless look has finally been revealed.

Mohanlal is appearing without a beard for the new film that marks the collaboration between Tharun Moorthy and Mohanlal. Even now, he faces the camera with a face that carries the same old softness and charm. Though Mohanlal appeared with a bearded look during the pooja ceremony, he had already appeared clean-shaven earlier for the character look.

In the film, Mohanlal plays the role of an ordinary Police Sub-Inspector. The story moves through the events that unfold in the life of an SI working in a small town. While Thudarum portrayed how the life of an ordinary taxi driver turns into a conflict, this film raises the question of what happens in the life of a police officer.
