The three-bedroom bungalow is more than just a plush residence—it offers a glimpse into Mohanlal's cinematic legacy and family life. Each room has its own distinct character: one is themed after his daughter Vismaya's love for nature, while another, with views of a lush garden, reflects the aesthetic of his son, actor Pranav Mohanlal.
The central living area, dubbed The Family Room, features a fireplace surrounded by nearly 300 artworks that pay tribute to the history of Malayalam cinema.
Adding to its uniqueness is a separate section known as The Gun House, which functions as both a bar and a mini-museum. It houses replica props from Mohanlal's films, including Barroz and Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea.
Guests are also treated to authentic Kerala cuisine, prepared by the in-house chef who has been with the Mohanlal family for 25 years.
Recently, Mollywood actor Mammootty also opened his residence, Mammootty House, in Kochi for public stays. It is priced at Rs 75,000 per night.
Mohanlal's work front
On the work front, Mohanlal is currently enjoying the success of his recent release Thudarum, directed by Tharun Moorthy. He is set to appear in a cameo role in Vishnu Manchu's mythological epic Kannappa. The film also features Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohan Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, and many others in key roles. It is scheduled for release on June 27.
Mohanlal will also be seen next in Hridayapoorvam, alongside Malavika Mohanan. He is further set to collaborate with Mahesh Narayanan and Mammootty on an upcoming film.

Fountain of fables: Aug date for light, sound show in Gurgaon?
Gurgaon: If all goes to plan, by Aug, Sector 29 might not just be known for its restaurants and bars but also for bringing stories to life through water, light and sound. As work on setting up the city's first-ever light and sound show nears completion at Leisure Valley Park in Sector 29, officials say the themes being considered for laser projections include Guru Dronacharya, the mighty Hanuman and elements from children's fantasy stories. The light and sound show — designed as a 10 to 15-minute immersive experience — is preparing to dazzle its visitors with a visual spectacle that blends mythology, fantasy and cutting-edge technology. A GMDA official says, "This will be the first project of its kind in the city. We are exploring several cultural and historical themes, but the final narrative for the laser show is yet to be finalised." While the final storyline is still being curated with inputs from the Indian Council of Historical Research and India Tourism Development Corporation, GMDA officials say the aim is to craft something that resonates across age groups — from children to history buffs. Spread across 25 acres, Leisure Valley Park has long been a haven for walkers, joggers and families. Now, many residents are hopeful it will become the city's cultural hotspot after sunset. With a modest seating capacity of around 100 people, the show is expected to draw more visitors once launched. Officials say the Rs 8.3-crore project also includes five years of operation and maintenance and could pave the way for similar cultural initiatives in other parts of the city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The show will use 3D projection mapping on a water screen, synchronised audio, laser visuals and high-pressure fountain nozzles to create a rich, multi-sensory narrative. Scheduled for Oct last year, the project was delayed by over eight months due to structural seepage detected in the fountain area — the very site where the projection screen was to be mounted.

Revamp over, NDMC plans to reopen Srijan Art Gallery in Nehru Park
New Delhi: New Delhi Municipal Council has completed the refurbishment of Srijan Art Gallery in Nehru Park and will open it to the public soon. The open-air gallery near gate number 1 of Nehru Park will serve as a platform for young, budding artists to showcase their artwork. "The place was revamped recently, and the civil department also installed grills around this place. There is a provision for a shed with spaces created for displaying artworks and lights installed to highlight art pieces. We will inaugurate the facility soon," said NDMC vice-chairman Kuljeet Chahal. Exhibitions will be organised frequently at the gallery, with a nominal or no fee for the visitors. "Young national awardees will be given space here to display their works. Considering several people come here for morning walks and other recreational activities, it would be the perfect place to display artworks with so much greenery around," said Chahal. Aiming to implement projects related to art and culture in a more creative manner after engaging expert artists, NDMC set up an art and culture department in May. A budget of approximately Rs 40 crore, 1% of its expenditure account, has been earmarked this fiscal for implementing related projects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit.

NDMC earlier also shared plans to form a committee in collaboration with institutions like Sahitya Kala Parishad and Triveni Kala Sangam to promote art and culture. Plans include developing an art gallery at Navyug School in Sarojini Nagar and rehearsal spaces for artistes in schools. A summer art workshop was also organised in Navyug School in May. Areas like Khan Market will be adorned with vibrant street art to enhance pedestrian experiences as part of the art on public places initiatives. "If it turns out to be successful, this initiative will be extended to other major markets," Chahal had said. NDMC has already started organising its 'music in the park' series at Nehru Park featuring performances by renowned artistes. To increase footfall in the subways that sometimes become isolated, there is a plan to hold art and culture exhibitions in Connaught Place subways, giving emerging artists an opportunity to showcase their talents, he had added.

Bombay HC asks TDSAT for an early hearing in Sony–Tata Play dispute
The Bombay High Court has asked the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal ( TDSAT ) to consider hearing broadcasting petitions and related applications involving Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI), legally known as Culver Max Entertainment, and Tata Play ahead of schedule—preferably in the first week of July 2025. The direction came as the High Court disposed of a writ petition filed by SPNI, which sought to withdraw the matter citing the pendency of related proceedings before the TDSAT. The tribunal has currently scheduled the hearing between the two parties for July 23. The withdrawal was made without any objection from Tata Play. The order dated June 17 was uploaded today. During the hearing on June 17, senior counsel for SPNI also sought the court's permission to address consumer concerns via social media, a request to which Tata Play raised no objection. The court permitted SPNI to publish a clarifying message stating that while the dispute is sub judice, its channels remain available on Tata Play, both on an a-la-carte basis and as part of its bouquets. Customers may contact Tata Play's customer service number to activate these channels. Live Events The bench, comprising Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Dr. Neela Gokhale, clarified that all legal rights and contentions of the parties are kept open and remain unaffected by the withdrawal of the petition. SPNI had approached the High Court to challenge a recent TDSAT directive instructing it to remove all social media posts and content—including those on X—that referenced Tata Play, either directly or indirectly. Senior counsel Janak Dwarkadas, along with Sneha Jaisingh of Bharucha Partners, represented SPNI in the proceedings. Tata Play was represented by senior advocate Ravindra Kadam and counsel Rohan Kadam. The dispute pertains to the renewal of the annual subscription agreement between SPNI, which operates 27 television channels, and Tata Play, which has around 18 million subscribers. Following the disagreement, Tata Play started removing SPNI channels from its consumer packs following which the broadcaster started running scrolls on its channels urging viewers to switch to other operators for continued access to its channels. SPNI had sought Rs 300 crore in dues from the DTH service provider . The tribunal had earlier clarified that its May 30 order should be read in conjunction with its May 27 order, which directed SPNI to remove on-screen scrolls referring to Tata Play from its channels. Tata Play, in turn, was directed to make a partial payment of Rs 40 crore towards the broadcaster's dues. Earlier, the High Court had issued notices to both TDSAT and Tata Play, directing them to file their responses. The matter, initially scheduled for hearing on June 16, was adjourned to June 17. In its submissions to TDSAT, Tata Play argued that SPNI's financial demand was unreasonable, stating that it had paid around Rs 4,000 crore over the past decade—including Rs 700 crore annually—and had made significant payments since SPNI's initial demand in March 2025.
