Not Amitabh Bachchan Or Aamir Khan, But This Actor Gave 25 Hits In A Year
Last Updated: In 2025, Mohanlal has had two blockbuster releases so far — L2: Empuraan When it comes to Hindi cinema, names like Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Shah Rukh Khan often dominate the conversation as the most bankable superstars. They have starred in some of the biggest Bollywood hits over the last three decades. But let's burst the bubble. In the vast landscape of the Indian film industry, one superstar from Kerala has set a benchmark that few can even dream of. With a career spanning over 400 films, Mohanlal has not only proved his acting prowess in the Malayalam film industry but also in Bollywood, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada film industries. He has time and again proved why he is one of the most successful actors in Indian cinema. The first proof of his talent as a bankable star was in 1986. At a time when Malayalam cinema was facing tough challenges, Mohanlal starred in 34 projects as the lead actor. And guess what? Out of the 34 films, 25 were box office hits. At just 26 years old, Mohanlal established himself as the undisputed superstar in Malayalam cinema. To put this into perspective, Aamir Khan has delivered 21 hits to date, fewer than Mohanlal's successes in a single year. It is worth noting that Mohanlal was consistently ranked among the most bankable stars in Malayalam cinema between 1986 and 2016. In the late 2010s, the veteran superstar faced a few setbacks. He roared back to box office glory with Lucifer in 2019. The Malayalam film became the first movie to cross the Rs 200 crore mark. He also tasted success with Drishyam, further cementing his legacy. In 2025, Mohanlal has had two blockbuster releases so far — L2: Empuraan and Thudarum. Each film grossed over Rs 200 crore. The actor's unmatched consistency and box office dominance continue to give younger actors a run for their money. Looking ahead, Mohanlal has a jam-packed schedule. He will be seen in the Telugu fantasy drama Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The actor has also been roped in for Sathyam Anthikad's Hridayapoorvam and Nanda Kishore's Vrusshabha. Fans will also see him in the Malayalam film AJFC_MMMN, directed by Mahesh Narayanan. First Published: June 04, 2025, 18:33 IST
