Meet India's only actor who gave 25 hits in a year, charges Rs 20 crore per film, not Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, his name is...
The landscape of Hindi cinema is extremely vast. From Amitabh Bachchan to Rajinikanth, there are many actors who have dominated the industry with their blockbusters. But today, we will discuss an actor who has set a benchmark not just in the South but across India. Over the last 4 decades, this actor has delivered several hits. His talent has been acknowledged in the Malayalam, Bollywood, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada film industries. If you are wondering who this actor is, then let us tell you—we are talking about Mohanlal. Mohanlal is one of the most celebrated actors in the industry. He made his acting debut in 1978 with the film Thiranottam. The movie was produced and made by Mohanlal and his friends—Maniyanpilla Raju, Suresh Kumar, Unni, Priyadarshan, Ravi Kumar, and a few others. However, Mohanlal's major breakthrough came when he featured in the 1980 film Manjil Virinja Pookkal. This was his first credited role and marked his screen debut, as his initial film, Thiranottam, was delayed in release. When Mohanlal Did 25 Films in a Year The first testament to his star power came in 1986, a year when Malayalam cinema was going through difficult times. Mohanlal took on the lead role in 34 films that year, proving his bankability as an actor. Surprisingly, out of those 34 films, 25 turned out to be box office hits. At just 26 years old, Mohanlal cemented his position as the undisputed superstar of Malayalam cinema. And till now, the record remains intact. Mohanlal Was a State-Level Wrestler Did you know that Mohanlal was a state-level wrestling champion between 1977 and 1978?

Dhyan Sreenivasan dreams of a 'Chotta Mumbai'-style entertainer with Mohanlal - 'That's my personal dream'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor-director Dhyan Sreenivasan has revealed that he wishes to direct a vibrant commercial entertainer featuring Mohanlal , reminiscent of the cult hit 'Chotta Mumbai'. In a recent interview, Dhyan shared his long-held desire to craft a full-fledged masala film packed with humour, dance, music, and action. As reported by Mathrubhumi, speaking to an online channel, Dhyan said, 'We've been thinking of doing a film with Lal sir. It's still in the discussion phase, but the film I have in mind is very much in the Chotta Mumbai zone.' He explained that the story has been with him for years and was always imagined with either Mohanlal or Mammootty in the lead. 'That's my personal dream,' he said. Mohanlal's energy is meant to be celebrated, says Dhyan Reflecting on Mohanlal's current filmography, Dhyan pointed out the need for a celebratory, high-energy role for the superstar. Dhyan said that Mohanlal has intense thrillers in his career, but a film like 'Chotta Mumbai' is more about celebrating the star on screen. The 'Varshangalkku Shesham' actor said that there's humour, dance, and fun in such films, and this is something that the audience loves. Dhyan highlighted how Mohanlal's ability to light up the screen in lighter, commercial roles is something worth revisiting, especially for fans who love his dynamic range. Mohanlal Confirms Drishyam 3 Release |Georgekutty Is Back Discussions with writer Nishad Koya and a casual pitch to Pranav Mohanlal Dhyan revealed that he has been discussing the concept with writer Nishad Koya and even casually mentioned the idea to Mohanlal's family. Dhyan said that he had shared this to Mohanlal's wife Suchitra and his son Pranav during a flight. Although Dhyan said that there is no confirmed plan, there may be a 10 percent chance for it to happen. "I'll try. Maybe I'll pitch it one day,' he admitted. On the other hand, Dhyan Sreenivasan's recent film was 'Detective Ujjwalan'.

Two-volume legend
By: N P Ashley Malayalis, it is said, have a knack for trolls and memes. From a shared filmic folklore, quick, funny, sarcastic images get churned out and shared instantaneously. One author who often features in this social media banter is Vaikom Muhammad Basheer. Be it Ettukali Mammonju—a prototype for politicians who take credit for everything (he would famously say, 'It is me,' whenever any unmarried woman in the village got pregnant!), or Aakashawintayi ('sky toffee), the name an interreligious couple, Sarasamma and Kesavan Nair, gave their child by picking lots, or Bhargavi Nilayam, now a synonym for haunted houses after the 1964 film—among literary figures, Basheer's presence in popular culture is perhaps the most telling. Basheer didn't write very much. His 40-year-long literary career can be fitted into two volumes. His writing became mythical not because of its simplicity, accessibility, or brevity—but because he was overwriting; writing on top of already existing materials; he was a palimpsest. He wrote against writing itself and that freedom has a certain deep and lasting appeal. He altered the content of Malayalam fiction by introducing Muslim social life and using writing as a tool for community reform. He crossed cultural boundaries, closed gaps—yet always remained an outsider: to literature, to society, even to his own community. Banned, targeted and arrested—Basheer's early public life makes it difficult to say if they are creative writing pieces from a freedom fighter and political activist (against the Travancore diwan Sir C P Ramaswamy Iyer) or a fiction writer's meanderings into activism. He is best a hyphenated entity in this phase. Even after his legal troubles ended post-1947, controversy followed him. His calls for reform and his resistance to moralism—naming a book Pavappettavarude Vesya (A Prostitute of the Poor), exposing ethical hollowness in Sabdangal (Voices)—kept him on edge. At a time when writers split into aestheticists and socialists, Basheer charted a third path: Writing about spirituality, the Sufi-Yogi worlds and ethical complexity, as CR Parameswaran noted. Friendship was his forte, humour his tool. He spoke lightly and irreverently of all castes and religions. This fluidity feels empowering to today's content creators. But synthesizing such contradictions wasn't effortless—it must have been excruciating. As NS Madhavan observed, it possibly drove him to madness. In an age when mental health conversations resonate with a huge section, Basheer, an author to be hospitalized in a lunatic asylum, becomes a person to reach after. Overwriting takes skill, social sense, and the right attitude—not to sound self-righteous or off-putting. When done right, it resembles Google's landing page: The simplest interface masking the most complex backend algorithm. Basheer reads a bit like that.
