Raj Kiran makes his debut in Malayalam through shylock, co-starring Mammootty and Meena. Raj Kiran plays a strong and powerful character in the movie. According to moviemakers, the protagonist of the movie is Raj Kiran and he will be seen as a Tamil speaking character.
Ajay Vasudev's direction
Ajay Vasudev has the distinction of being the director who got the opportunity to collaborate with Mammootty on his three consecutive movies. Ajay Vasudev made his debut through Rajadiraja and followed it up with Masterpiece. Gopi Sunder has composed the music for this movie. The bar song 'Kanne Kanne' has already been in the hit chart.
From Bellari Raja to Boss
Out of the five reasons, the most compelling factor to watch shylock is that the trailer had a resemblance with the super hit movie ' Rajamanikyam'. From a cattle dealer in Rajamankyam to the money lender in Shylock, one thing that has not changed in Mammootty is his mindblowing energy level and screen presence. His role as Bellary raja had shut the mouth of critics who were reluctant to appreciate his ability in doing comedy. Shylock also assures the audience that the movie will have all the ingredients of a mass entertainer.
