Mohanlal as escape artist!

In 2008, Mohanlal underwent 18 months of escape artist training under famous magician Gopinath Muthukad. He had planned to perform a stunt called Burning Illusion in Thiruvananthapuram, however due to pressure from various quarters including fans this was cancelled later on criticisms and allegations that it is an extremely dangerous act. However, the actor who is immensely passionate about the art form, decided to perform a risk-free item for the inaugural function of Magic Planet, a magic themed complex at Kinfra Film and Video Park Kazhakoottam, Trivandrum
