Mohanlal wishes Daughter success as she enters Malayalam films

Malayalam cinema’s beloved superstar Mohanlal, who is currently riding high on the success of his recent films L2: Empuraan and Thudarum, has now delighted fans with a personal and heartfelt announcement. On July 2, the veteran actor revealed that his daughter, Vismaya Mohanlal, is all set to make her acting debut in an upcoming Malayalam film titled ‘Thudakkam’.

Taking to social media, Mohanlal unveiled the first-look poster of Thudakkam, sharing the joyous news with fans and followers.

About the Film

Thudakkam is helmed by acclaimed director Jude Anthany Joseph, celebrated for his heartfelt storytelling and uplifting narratives. The film is backed by Antony Perumbavoor under the prestigious Aashirvad Cinemas banner, renowned for producing several of Mohanlal’s most iconic films over the years.

Jude Anthany Joseph also shared his feelings about directing Vismaya’s debut. In a heartfelt note written in Malayalam and shared on social media, the director expressed his gratitude and excitement. Loosely translated, his message read:
