Summary
- Producer Antony Perumbavoor confirmed Mohanlal's team was unaware of editing changes.
- Mohanlal's role in Jailer 2 was significantly shorter than anticipated.
- Body double Joby Kodakara clarified his limited contribution to the film.
Malayalam film producer Antony Perumbavoor has spoken out regarding the significant disappointment surrounding actor Mohanlal's limited appearance in the recently released 'Jailer 2'. Mohanlal's reduced screen time and the omission of several scenes featured in the trailer from the theatrical cut have drawn criticism from fans.
Perumbavoor confirmed that neither Mohanlal nor his team were aware of the extent of the editing, stating, "Malayalis weren't generally happy about it. So are we." This lack of foreknowledge highlights a disconnect between the final product and the actor's representation.
Adding to the discussion, body double Joby Kodakara clarified his role in the film. He explained that his contribution was restricted to a few shots, primarily showing hands and legs during the airport scene in the climax, and vehemently denied that his face was used. He suggested scheduling or time constraints as reasons for his limited involvement.
Meanwhile, 'Jailer 2' continues to perform exceptionally well at the global box office. The action drama has grossed Rs 776.95 crore worldwide after 16 days, placing it on the cusp of reaching the Rs 800 crore milestone.
