Mohanlal’s new images for Asianet programme goes viral, netizens start trolls

NIRMAL YESODA

After completing his quarantine, Mohanlal has recently joined the Asianet studio to participate in a program named ‘Laalonnam Nallonam’ which will be aired in the channel during the Onam days. Now, some of the stills from the program have leaked online, and it shows Mohanlal in a bearded avatar.

However, the new images have not gone well with netizens, and they have started trolling Mohanlal for his looks, and pathetic costume selection sense. Some social media users even went ahead and claimed that Mohanlal’s new look is very similar to the iconic Rubeus Hagrid who often appears in Harry Potter films.

As some trolls from netizens crossed all boundaries of obscenity, Mohanlal fans have started defending the actor stating that he has been a victim of body shaming from the initial days of his career. These fans also made it clear that the performance of an actor matters the most, and the physical look has nothing to do with class and mettle.

This is not the first time that Mohanlal is getting trolled on social media platforms for seemingly silly reasons. Citing his body language, several social media users from pages like ‘FFC’ used to degrade him very badly, and at times, these trolls used to cross all the limits of decency.

Mohanlal will soon join the shooting of ‘Drishyam 2’ which will be directed by Jeethu Joseph. The film is a sequel to 2013 blockbuster Drishyam. In this upcoming movie, Mohanlal will once again play the role of Georgekutty, a middle-class family man who gets involved in a murder coverup.

Fans of Mohanlal are now awaiting the release of Marakkar: Arabikkadalinte Simham. An official announcement regarding the release of the film will be made once the theaters get reopened after coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
