But for Lalettan, age is just a number and laws of physics are merely a suggestion! Don’t believe us? The 57 year old veteran actor had to undergo a strenuous training session to get into the skin of ‘Murugan’, the adventurous wild hunter in Pulimurugan.
As the Celebrity fitness expert for 'Mega Star' Mammootty since 2007, it was really a great experience to be Celebrity fitness expert of 'The complete actor' Mohanlal too.
