Jailer 2 featuring Rajinikanth is grabbing all the attention on social media as it happens to be one of the better packaged commercial films in recent times. The film is now set to start on a strong note at the global box office with good revenues all over.
However, there is this one particular aspect about this film, which has grabbed the negative attention and it has something to do with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, who did a cameo appearance.
The costume designer associated with Mohanlal commented that several scenes featuring the star Malayalam actor were removed from the film.
Based on what was shot, I was completely confident in our work-even when reduced to a 2-second glimpse in the trailer. But with the film’s release, three of Mohanlal Sir’s distinct looks were cut entirely, and even that trailer scene was trimmed out, Jishad Shamshuddin, who designed the outfits for Mohanlal in this film commented.
From my experience in cinema, trimming scenes involving a superstar like Mohanlal Sir is simply unnecessary, he adds on this matter.
Seeing our superstar reduced like this, if there is a Sequel, I will not be a part of it. I am truly sorry to everyone who trusted me, this costume designer said as he said he’d not be a part of the upcoming sequels.
The fact that this has come from the official costume designer of Mohanlal carries some weight. But at the end of the day, it is going to be a commercial choice that should be made by the director and producer.
If they felt that the cameo appearances were dragging too long, it would’ve been a creative call to cut short the same. Moreover, it is the creative choice of Mohanlal whether to be a part of this project or not.
