‘If Mammootty Played The Villain In Jailer…’: Malayalam Director Omar Lulu’s Take On Rajinikanth Film
The villain character named Varman was played by the Malayalam actor Vinayakan in the movie Jailer.

The character of the villain, played by Vinayakan, has been widely appreciated for his versatile acting. However, Malayalam director Omar Lulu thought otherwise.

The director tagged his Facebook post and uploaded it on his official Instagram handle.
“Even though Vinayakan played the role well if Mammookka had come as a villain instead of Vinayakan as planned initially, the movie would have got a double impact. If so, at least 500 crores box office collection would have come,” captioned the director
