Vysaksh's Pulimurugan

has been in the news for the big scale filmmaking and thrilling fight scenes involving a tiger. Bollywood actor Makarand Deshpande, who has been making steady inroads into

Malayalam

, is also part of the movie and plays the 'bad man' in the film.

Makarand says, 'I am a wood smuggler in the movie and is a quintessential bad guy who works for someone. I walk around in getups that can have a camouflage effect in the forest, so that I am not spotted easily. My hair, however, will be as it is.' He is thrilled to have worked with the 'dream actor' Mohanlal, whom he terms 'too unique and not gimmicky'.

He remembers an instance from the set, 'One day, rain was constantly interrupting the shoot and at one point, the production team was screaming around to get things done right. Mohanlal gently stepped in and asked them, 'What is the need to raise your voice? The actors need to be calm and concentrate on their work, please relax!' I was happy to see that side of him get unveiled. He is not just a great actor, but also a wonderful human being.'
