The second look poster for the upcoming Malayalam thriller Kalamkaval is here. Mammootty looks menacing and feels eerily similar to his look in the 2014 psychological thriller Munnariyippu, which makes a strong case for the recent rumours that the superstar will be playing a negative role in the movie.

Based on the infamous serial killer Cyanide Mohan?

There is a lot of speculation online that the movie will feature 21 female actresses and is based on the life of infamous serial killer Cyanide Mohan, who murdered 20 women in Karnataka from 2003 to 2009.

Mohan targeted women between the ages of 22 and 35 who came from poor families that could not pay dowries. Mohan would offer to marry the women, asking for nothing in return, only to murder them after the wedding with cyanide pills and then rob their jewellery.
