The first single, Punnara Kattile Poovanatthil, from the upcoming film  Malaikottai Vaaliban, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, will be released on Friday at 5 PM. The film has music composed by Prashant Pillai. 

The film, which is one of the most ambitious projects in Mohanlal's career, is helmed by a well-known director, Lijo Jose Pellissery. It also marks the duo's first collaboration together.

Earlier, the makers released the film's teaser, which showed Mohanlal's character sitting in sand territory wearing red clothing and saying, "Sight is the only truth. All unseen is a lie. Everything you have known yet is bluff. That which shall unfold now is the truth." 

It was earlier reported that in the film, Mohanlal will be playing the role of a wrestler from the pre-Independence era. 

Malaikottai Vaaliban also stars Manikandan Achari, Danish Sait, Hareesh Peradi, and Sonalee Kulkarni, among others. 

PS Rafique penned the screenplay. The film sees Lijo reuniting with Churuli cinematographer Madhu Neelakandan and editor Deepu Joseph. 

The film will be released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi on January 25, 2024.
