Malavika Mohanan All Set To Join Karthi In Bangkok For 'Sardar 2' Shoot
This phase in Bangkok is anticipated to be dynamic, featuring high-octane sequences and the shooting of a special song. A source close to the project confirmed, 'Malavika Mohanan will head to Bangkok in the first week of June for the next schedule of Sardar 2 with Karthi. The team will also film a special song during this period." Sardar 2 is her next Tamil collaboration with a major star, already generating buzz for its gripping plot and scale. However, this is just part of the picture. Malavika's rising pan-India appeal is evident from her upcoming projects, which include three major films across different industries — The Raja Saab with Prabhas in Telugu, Hridayapoorvam with Mohanlal in Malayalam, and Sardar 2 with Karthi in Tamil. These films have strong potential to perform well not just regionally but across India, because of its star power. Apart from her work, Malavika often makes headlines for her bold statements on crucial matters. During a recent interview, Malavika spoke about persisting gender disparity and said that it never really ended. Expressed her anger at the situation, the actor told Hauterrfly, 'I don't think this disparity has ever ended in the film industry. I also think that men have really gotten smart, and I have seen this in a lot of male actors, suddenly, in the last 5–6 years, they know how to put on the mask of being woke." She further called them out by saying, 'They know exactly what lines to say that make them come across like a feminist, as a very forward-thinking person, someone who treats women as equals. And I have seen them go back from the public eye and become the most misogynistic person ever. It's hypocrisy." Malavika Mohanan's Filmography Malavika began her acting journey in 2013 with the Malayalam film Pattam Pole, where she starred alongside Dulquer Salmaan. Her breakthrough came with Beyond the Clouds (2017), which brought her wider acclaim. Since then, she has featured in a string of notable films across Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, including The Great Father (2017), Petta (2019), and Master (2021). This year, she has exciting lineup of films for release.
