Yesterday,
Malayalam
superstar
Mohanlal's
photo
sporting
overgrown
beard
caught
everyone's
attention
on
social
media.
After
seeing
his
photo,
fans
started
speculating
that
this
might
be
a
new
look
for
his
next
Drishyam
2,
directed
by
Jeethu
Joseph.
Fans
were
literally
curious
to
know
if
his
beard
is
for
Drishyam
2
or
not.
And
guess
what,
we
finally
got
the
answer.
In
an
interview
with
Times
of
India,
director
Jeethu
Joseph
revealed
that
Mohanlal's
overgrown
beard
is
not
for
Drishyam
2.
While
clarifying
the
doubts
of
netizens,
Jeethu
Joseph
said,
"He
wouldn't
have
such
a
long
beard
when
he's
reprising
George
Kutty
in
Drishyam
2." So,
it's
clear
that
the
beard
is
not
for
Drishyam
2
for
sure.
Then
why
is
Mohanlal
sporting
this
overgrown
beard?
Is
the
big
question
that
still
remains
unanswered.
Reports
suggest
that
the
actor
has
kept
the
new
look
for
his
directorial
debut
Barroz:
Guardian
Of
D'Gama's
Treasure,
in
which
he
will
also
play
the
titular
character.
However,
the
official
confirmation
about
the
same
has
not
yet
come.
Apart
from
clarifying
about
Mohanlal's
beard,
Jeethu
Joseph
also
revealed
that
the
Drishyam
2
makers
have
decided
to
push
the
shooting
schedule
by
a
month
now.
While
revealing
the
reason,
Jeethu
said,
"We
had
tentatively
decided
to
start
filming
on
Chingam
1
(August
17)
but
because
the
number
Covid-19
cases
have
been
rising,
we
have
decided
to
push
it
by
a
month.
Even
that's
not
set
in
stone,
but
the
plan
is
to
start
the
indoor
portions
next
month
depending
on
the
situation."
