Who is Vismaya Mohanlal?
Vismaya Mohanlal is the daughter of legendary Malayalam actor Mohanlal and his wife Suchitra. She is also the younger sister of actor Pranav Mohanlal. While born into a prominent film family, Vismaya initially chose a different path, expressing her creativity through writing and visual art.
Vismaya Mohanlal's work
In 2021, she published a book titled Grains of Stardust, a collection of poems and illustrations, which highlighted her reflective and artistic sensibility beyond the world of cinema.
She also worked behind the scenes as part of the crew in Mohanlal's 2024 film Barroz, gaining experience in filmmaking before stepping in front of the camera. Her multifaceted background—spanning poetry, painting, martial arts, and now acting—positions her as a promising new face in Malayalam cinema with a distinct identity of her own.
