Adding to the hype of upcoming multi-starrer film, Patriot, a fight still featuring Mohanlal has been leaked online. Another photo of Mohanlal posing in the same costume with Kunchacko Boban is also doing rounds on social media.
The leaked photo shows Mohanlal standing in a desert-like area with clouds of dust around him as the movie crew watches on. Many fans were wondering if the leak was a marketing strategy of the makers. Others even claimed the photo was AI-generated. There is no official confirmation about the authenticity of the photo.
The movie features Mohanlal, Mammootty, Nayanthara, Kunchacko Boban and Fahadh Faasil in key roles. Darshana Rajendran and Revathi are also part of the cast.
Earlier, the title of the movie, Patriot, was leaked by Sri Lanka Tourism page, which named the project while promoting the country's popularity as a film shooting destination.
This comes as the teaser of the Mahesh Narayan film is expected to release on October 2. Since Mammootty recently regained his health, he is expected to resumed shooting for Patriot early next month.

Around 60 per cent of shooting has been completed, Manorama Online quoted director Mahesh Narayanan as saying. Two schedules in Sri Lanka and one each in the UAE and Azerbaijan have already been completed.
Talking about Patriot, Mahesh said it was not his intention to create a movie of such large proportion but the film grew bigger. "That's the destiny of some movies. We are trying to make a mainstream film that can be watched and enjoyed in theatres. But it will be my kind of film," he told Manorama Online.
With Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra breaking lifetimes records of Empuraan on Saturday, it remains to be seen if the multi-starrer can surpass the newly set record.
