The trailer of the most anticipated fantasy thriller film Odiyan is out and has garnered the attention of film buffs. The trailer, which is 1.28 minutes long, was released on Facebook by the film’s lead star Mohanlal and has the right mix of mass elements that his fans would be looking for.
Besides focusing on the titular character, the trailer also offers a glimpse of the other characters played by Prakash Raj, Narain, Innocent, Manju Warrier and so on. The stunt sequences choreographed by Peter Hein promise a lot of entertainment for action fans.
Earlier, the plan was to release the film in October but with the film requiring a high amount of computer graphics to be included, its release has been rescheduled to December 14. The VFX work is being handled by Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn’s NY VFXWAALA.
