Mollywood, as the Malayalam Cinema industry is widely referred to as, has seen many great stars and technicians grace its galaxy, but none more so than the two big M’s - Mohanlal and Mammootty! here’s a look at who Mohanlal is and how he came to be one of the biggest stars ever...
The BEGINNING!
MOHANLAL VISWANATHAN NAIR, BORN IN 1960, IS THE LAST CHILD OF A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE AND HIS WIFE.
He followed up schooling with a degree in commerce. Mohanlal acted in his first film Thiranottam, in 1978. However, the movie took over twenty-five years to release and saw the light of day, only in 2005. When his friends sent his photo for a casting call, he was auditioned for the role but two of the four director judges were unimpressed with his performance. However, directors Fazil and Jijo Appachan were impressed by Mohanlal and he played the lead in Fazil’s maiden directorial Manjil Virinja Pookkal, which went on to become a blockbuster. After playing roles with negative shades in a couple of movies, Lalettan turned successful hero with the movie Ivide Thudangunnu. There has been no looking back, ever since.

True All-rounder!
Sahaya sheelan shadrach is not too common a name in kannada cinema and even most of the ardent of sandalwood fans would find it hard to recognise the multi-talented artiste who goes by a different screen name. When sahaya sheelan decided to enter movies, he was given a screen name by upendra; a name that has become synonymous with comedy and music in kannada cinema. The name is sadhu kokila and he is one of the best comedians as well as music directors that sandalwood has seen till date; but these two aren’t the only avatars he has aced in cinema... He is also a highly successful director, producer, lyricist and screenplay writer.
