Mohanlal, widely hailed as ‘The Complete Actor’ in Malayalam cinema, continues to dominate the industry with his stellar performances and enduring popularity. While he has effortlessly sustained his stardom over the decades, his son Pranav Mohanlal has not enjoyed the same success despite multiple attempts. Now, all eyes are on Mohanlal’s daughter, Vismaya, who is making her acting debut with Thudakkam, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jude Anthony Joseph of 2018 fame.
Pranav made his debut in 2018 with Aadhi, which generated decent buzz but fell short of expectations. Since then, he has acted in more than six films, with only Hridayam emerging as a commercial and critical success. However, most of the credit for that success has been attributed to director Vineeth Sreenivasan and the film’s female leads, leaving Pranav still searching for a breakthrough role.
Critics and fans alike have questioned Mohanlal’s passive approach toward his son’s career, especially when compared to Mammootty’s son Dulquer Salmaan, who carved out a niche on his own and became a pan-India star. Mohanlal is believed to be taking a similar hands-off approach, wishing his son would succeed on merit alone. However, the lack of visible progress has left many fans concerned.
Amidst this, Vismaya Mohanlal’s debut brings renewed curiosity. Mohanlal and Pranav have both extended their best wishes to her via social media, but the industry and audience are now wondering: will Vismaya succeed where Pranav couldn’t?
There’s reason for cautious optimism. Vismaya has made a smart choice by teaming up with Jude Anthony Joseph — a filmmaker known for balancing artistic vision with commercial appeal. His last film, 2018, was a nationwide success, and with Thudakkam, he seems determined to deliver a meaningful launchpad for Vismaya.
The Malayalam industry has been relatively receptive to star daughters. Actresses like Kalyani Priyadarshan, Malavika Mohanan, and Keerthy Suresh have all managed to establish strong careers, even while navigating the pressures of legacy. Whether Vismaya follows in their footsteps or becomes a one-film wonder is something only time will tell.
Thudakkam is being produced by Anthony Perumbavoor under Aashirvad Cinemas, adding further credibility to the project. With a reputed production house, an accomplished director, and high expectations surrounding her debut, Vismaya’s journey in the Malayalam film industry is off to an intriguing start.
