At a recent conference, Mohanlal showered his praise on actor Danish Sait for his performance in their upcoming Malayalam film, Malaikottai Vaaliban. Mohanlal described Danish as a "fantastic actor" and said, "The way he has done this film is unbelievable. You watch the film."

Adding more on the character of Danish in the film, Mohanlal said, “When Lijo and I first discussed how his character should be, I said he should be like a hyena. And he has created that hyena. He’s like an animal. The way he transported to that character is unbelievable. And what we discussed came true in the movie also. Watch the film, he’s so handsome but in the film he’s like an animal”.

Meanwhile, Danish Sait responded to Mohanlal's praise with a touch of humour, saying, "Can I die and come back?"

Malaikottai Vaaliban is directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery. It is produced by Shibu Baby John, Siddharth Anand Kumar, Vikram Mehra, Kochumon, Jacob K. Babu, Achu Baby John and MC Philip. The film is set to hit the theatres on January 25.

Danish Sait is known for working in Kannada films like Humble Politician Nograj (2018) and 777 Charlie (2022).
