The body double of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has clarified that only his hands and legs were used in the upcoming film 'Jailer 2', insisting that his face was not featured.
A recent statement from the body double of Malayalam actor Mohanlal has shed light on the use of a stand‑in in the forthcoming film "Jailer 2". The double, who has worked closely with the star, confirmed that only his hands and legs were employed in the movie’s action sequences.
He added that the actor’s face was never used, dispelling earlier rumours that a full body double had been employed. The clarification comes as the film’s production team prepares for its release, with Mohanlal set to reprise his role in the sequel.
The director and production house have not issued an official comment on the matter, but the body double’s remarks are expected to quell concerns among fans about the authenticity of the on‑screen portrayal.
"The audience will see Mohanlal’s face in every scene," the double said, emphasizing that the physical presence of the actor was maintained throughout the shoot.
Industry observers note that using body doubles for specific body parts is a common practice in action cinema, allowing actors to perform stunts safely while preserving the star’s visual identity.
