Malavika Mohanan’s body double from ‘The Raja Saab’ fight scene gets revealed; Netizens REACT

Malavika Mohanan was last seen in the Prabhas starrer ‘The Raja Saab’ directed by Maruthi. The film also includes a moment where the actress can be seen in an action sequence. A new video and photo of her body double is creating a buzz on the internet after fans thought those sequences were performed by the actress herself.In the video, actor Ronson Vincent, who was included in the shoot, shared pictures and clips from the fight sequence. One picture showed him standing next to a man wearing a pink crop top and shorts. That man was Malavika Mohanan’s body double. Ronson later deleted the video. But many people had already saved it and reposted it online. The picture quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. An X user shared the screenshot and wrote, “Endhira idhi (What is this?)” Many people were surprised. Some did not know that her body double was a man. In films, this is common. But some fans thought Malavika Mohanan did all her stunts alone. One person said, “He was there for only one jump.” Another wrote, which translates to, “Using dupes is part of filmmaking. Actor's job is only to emote. This is common in every industry. A director’s job is to blend the hero and the body double in such a way that the audience doesn’t notice the difference. But this third-grade director completely messed it up — whether out of incompetence or intentionally.”
