Mohanlal’s cameo as Mathew in Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer 2 may be brief, but the decision to cut several of his scenes has not gone down well with his costume designer, Jishad Shamsudeen. The designer has publicly called out the film’s makers, claiming that three distinct looks created for the Malayalam superstar were removed from the final cut. He has also said he would not be part of a possible third instalment.
