Makarand Deshpande
, who was last seen as a bike racer in a Sandalwood film will be seen as a smuggler in “
Pulimurugan
” with “Mohanlal.” The multi-talented Makarand Deshpande says, "I play a wood smuggler in Puli Murugan. I play a baddie, who works for someone gangster. My getup would give a camouflage effect in the forest. So I will not be spotted easily. I didn’t do any special hairstyle for the film. I feel proud and thrilled to work with Mohanlal, whom I consider my dream star. He is a gentleman. During the shooting, the schedule interrupted by rain and at one point, the production team got tensed and they started to yell to get things done right. Mohanlal asked them, Why you raise your voice now? The artists have to concentrate on their work, so, please relax!' I was extremely happy to see his best side. He is not only a great actor but a wonderful human being too."
