However, this superstar has been completely different from others. Mohanlal appears in many films every year and is known for giving consecutive blockbuster hits. The special thing is that his films have often competed with the films of Bollywood's biggest star, Salman Khan. Salman Khan's films are often no less than a festival for his fans.

In contrast, South superstar Mohanlal's film 'L2: Empuraan', released at the same time, received a lot of praise from the audience and critics. Mohanlal's popularity is nothing new. He has worked in about 400 films in his illustrious career spanning four decades. There was a time when his films used to be released in theatres every 15 days. The most special thing is that in 1986, Mohanlal made a record which no one has been able to break to date. That year, he did 34 films, out of which 25 proved to be superhits. This achievement is still considered a benchmark. Mohanlal is not only a successful actor but also a producer, director, distributor, playback singer and businessman.
