Kanchivaram was supposed to have Mohanlal

National award winning film Kanchivaram’s director Priyadarshan is still elated about the film’s success. According to him, the hit film was supposed to have Mohanlal playing the lead, but since he didn’t have the dates, the role went to Prakash Raj instead, who then went on to win a National award for the role. He also confirmed that Prakash Raj had acted in the movie free of charge.
