You see, Mohanlal was originally purported to make a cameo appearance within the film, but unfortunately, it didn’t occur.

In response to a report from Malayalam Webdunia, Mohanlal had agreed to look within the film. Nonetheless, he needed to travel abroad for a show only a day before the scheduled shoot for his character. In consequence, the makers decided to remove his role from the script and rework it.

Mohanlal was included in Valliettan as a gesture of reciprocity, as Mammootty had made a cameo appearance in Mohanlal’s film Narasimham. Interestingly, each movies were directed by Shaji Kailas and written by Ranjith. The director-writer duo desired to recreate an identical moment in Valliettan.

The action-packed family drama has turn into a cult classic in Mollywood. The title Valliettan translates to ‘big brother’ in Malayalam, and the film is loosely inspired by the Hindu epic Mahabharata. It follows an elder brother who stands by his younger siblings, reclaiming their lost glory and ancestral home through sheer determination and exertions.

Previously, the film was available free of charge on YouTube, however it has since been removed. In response to The Times of India, the 4K re-release was purported to be available on Manorama Max from February 7, 2025. Nonetheless, this has yet to materialize, and as of now, there is no such thing as a official method to stream the film online. Hopefully, that can change soon.
