Entertainment

Years after making his film debut as an adversary in Manjil Virinja Pookkal (1980) directed by Fazil, Mohanlal's roles were largely limited to supporting or grey-shaded roles. He seized every chance that presented itself, unafraid to hone his acting abilities and make a lasting impact on both directors and viewers. Because so many films were made in that era and because Mohanlal was always improving, he gained the public's affection quite quickly. Alongside Mammootty, he became a bankable actor and started his rise to fame with his remarkable performances in films such as Ente Mamattikkuttiyammakku, Poochakkoru Mookkuthi, Sreekrishna Parunthu, Uyarangalil, Adiyozhukkukal, Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu, Aram + Aram = Kinnaram, Anubandham, Koodum Thedi, Boeing Boeing, Karimpinpoovinakkare, and Pathamudayam.
