Though she chose not to follow in her father and brother's footsteps, Malavika has carved her own path in modeling and academics. She pursued a master's degree in Sports Management from the UK.

I found my heroes not just in books, movies, folk stories, tiny action figures but also in my dreams. Growing up in the era of superheroes, often dismissed as mythical, make-believe, or too far-fetched. I ended up being a thorough day dreamer. For me these SuperHeroes were hope in motion. They made me feel Heroic. Their act of heroism mirrored in my dreams. That kid, never really grew up. And more importantly, he never gave up dreaming. Today, he takes a quiet, proud step forward, to tell a story, he's carried in his heart for years.' He further wrote, 'Yep, I'm directing my first feature film. A superhero story. One that's my own.

Unni Mukundan's work front After the success of the most-violent film 'Marco', Unni Mukundan impressed the family audiences with the film 'Get Set Baby' which earned 3 star rating from ETimes with an official review that read, 'Animation plays a strong visual role, both at the beginning and in the end credits. Unni is charming as Arjun, effectively portraying the shifts in his character, though some dialogues feel slightly awkward. Nikhila, for a change, gets to play a cheerful role, smiling more than usual, and she handles it with poise. The supporting cast does a great job elevating the story, despite a few misses. Light-hearted jokes are sprinkled throughout, working in some places but falling flat in others. A random Tovino Thomas reference is thrown in, earning a chuckle.'
