On the other side, Netizens also say that the film’s background score could have been better, and also the movie would have looked well-packed if it was trimmed by 20 minutes or more. One of them even said that the concept of ‘12th Man’ was lifted from the Italian movie ‘Perfect Strangers’. But these cons never stand against the film as the majority of the audience are happy with the end product of Jeethu Joseph and are calling it a ‘Must-watch’ film.
Apart from Mohanlal, ‘12th Man’ also has the actors Unni Mukundan, Anu Sithara, Saiju Kurup, Leona Lishoy, Sshivada, Rahul Madhav, Anusree, Aditi Ravi, and Priyanka Nair.
