Mohanlal's 'young look' from his upcoming movie Odiyan has become the talk of the tinsel town ever since the first-look was released last month. The versatile actor has apparently shed 18 kg to get into the shoes of Odiyan Manikyan's younger days in VA Shrikumar Menon's directorial venture.

A day before the release of Odiyan's official teaser, a photo of the 57-year-old has surfaced online, taken 51 days after he was trained by medical experts and physiotherapists from France to regain the "youth". The transformation of the actor itself had then impressed his fans while some commented it to be his dupe Madanlal.
