Despite the mixed reactions to Mohanlal and Lijo Jose Pellissery's highly anticipated action drama 'Malaikottai Vaaliban,' Danish Sait, who played the antagonist Chamathakan, expressed the cast's unwavering dedication to delivering their best in an interview.
In response to questions about the impact of negative reviews, Danish Sait emphasized that the focus is on delivering their best efforts, regardless of audience reactions.
Sait stated in an interview with Cinema Express, that, as it is such a monumental film, expectations were naturally high, but the entire team was confident in their hard work. He shared a moment when he asked Mohanlal if he ever feels nervous before a film's release after 43 years in the industry. Mohanlal's response, according to Sait, was that there's no reason to be nervous—they've done their best, and now it's up to the audience to have their say.
Danish Sait acknowledged the nature of the performing arts business, emphasizing that the audience's reception is a subjective aspect. Despite the varied reviews, he expressed that 'Malaikottai Vaaliban' remains the most significant experience in his career and will always hold a special place in his heart.
Sharing insights into the film's preparation, Danish Sait disclosed that director Lijo Jose Pellissery, an ardent Stanley Kubrick fan, immersed the team in Kubrick's works like 'A Clockwork Orange.' The preparation extended to workshops and collaboration with an acting coach, showcasing the dedication to creating a memorable cinematic experience.
Meanwhile, 'Malaikottai Vaaliban' is set to start streaming on OTT platforms from February 23.
