*Malikottai Valliban*, featuring the two prominent talents of Malayalam cinema, actor Mohanlal and director Lijo Jose Pellissery, is set to release on January 25. The trailer for the highly anticipated film was unveiled by the producers on Thursday, ending months of suspense surrounding the project.

Mohanlal and Pellissery had been meticulously guarding the details of the film, ensuring that even a glimpse of Mohanlal’s look was not leaked. The mystery surrounding the film began to unravel with the release of the teaser in December, followed by the release of the first song, "Raak." The newly released trailer now offers a deeper look into the film.

The trailer introduces a story centered around a region's struggle for freedom against British colonization. It opens with an intense voice declaring, “There is no joy like victory.” As the narrative unfolds, it reveals scenes of Mohanlal, restrained in iron chains between two pillars, maintaining his composure. The British forces are depicted brutally attacking innocent civilians, setting the stage for Mohanlal to be portrayed as a savior of the land.
