With Assembly elections nearing in Kerala, Vijayan’s relaxed conversation with Mohanlal echoes high-profile campaign-season interviews like PM Narendra Modi’s 2019 sit-down with actor Akshay Kumar.
Mohanlal had a cameo appearance in Mammootty’s film Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty (2013). However, their last film together was Twenty:20, which released in 2008.
Despite Mohanlal’s strong track record this year, with ‘L2: Empuraan’ and ‘Thudaram’ crossing Rs 200 crore, ‘Hridayapoorvam’ fell short against ‘Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra’.
Thudarum has heavily leaned in on the nostalgia of the Mohanlal-Shobana pairing. One of the film’s posters features an AI-generated version of their younger selves.
The movie shows a Muslim-majority village being attacked by a Hindu mob, and a pregnant Muslim woman being raped by a Hindu man. This seems to be a reference to the Bilkis Bano case.
The report is just a start. It remains to be seen if the film industry can do the painful work of starting from scratch, and rebuilding itself to be equitable and safe for all workers.
Morbi makes 80-90% of India’s ceramic exports. The West Asia conflict has cut its propane supply, shutting 200 factories and threatening 400 more—along with 9 lakh livelihoods.
The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
Which loan was defaulted upon? Also, try not to default when your State receives only 28 paise back for every rupee of tax collected from it and then spent on BIMARUs to blow on bridges, flyovers and airports that collapse at the mere hint of a drizzle. You’ll earn the right to be deemed progressive then. Sod off to your khap panchayats till then.
Those who came to act put up with anything, and it became a habit for the Silmans. They even created a movement for it. They did not know that time had changed. Their own people are looking to whitewash the rotten commercial film industry. Those who say that this happens in all Meghalas are belittling the issue. But it is not so. More than any other field, ulas trap girls and lock them. In any case, it is hoped that things are progressing so much in connection with Bhavana’s case that it will lead to a huge revolution in cinema Meghalaya.
In 1994, I have seen fathers and mothers standing with their girls in front of the film director’s room at Kozhikode Maharani Hotel. Today, many junior artists are silent about the harassment of ordinary junior artists when many people open up about what happened in front of the Hema Committee.
Strong action should be taken against the culprits. Actresses should now take the responsibility of the film organization as women are being exploited in Malayalam cinema.
What a pity.

Why would Malayali men be any different from “other” men? Your expectations were wrong to begin with.
