Arguably, there isn’t perhaps another actor in Kerala who never failed to amaze Malayalis as much as Mohanlal. Mollywood’s favourite, Lalettan is turning 58 today. Fans all around the world are celebrating with the re-releases of his chartbuster movies and by conducting various programmes and functions. The social media handles are already overflooded with wishes as Malayalis commemorate the day of the actor whom they lovingly call ‘ettan’.

Elanthoor, a small village in Pathanamthitta, Kerala is where Mohanlal was born. But he grew up in Thiruvananthapuram and earned a degree in commerce from Mahatma Gandhi University. Keralites saw Mohanlal for the first time on the screen through the directorial debut of Fazil in Manjil Virinja Pookkal (1980). Even though he was cast in the lead antagonist role, the young boy succeeded in obtaining a place in audience’s heart. It has been a legendary run for this veteran actor since then.

Not only from fans, wishes are pouring in from the members of the film fraternity, including legends such as Mammootty and many young stars as well. Mohanlal is always known as the coolest guy, whatever the situation. His friendly nature and the ability to control his reactions are probably the reasons why he is loved so much even from within the industry. In 2018, Mohanlal also completes the 38th year of his astonishing acting carrier.

For a film lover, the 58 year old cannot be only limited to the boundary of an actor. Lal has always proved that he can handle all aspects of entertainment, be it in front of the camera including dancing, singing as well as action sequences way better than any actor of his generation. The dedication of Mohanlal towards cinema has always been praised. He is also one of the few high profile Malayali actors who are connected to his fans as well. The way Mohanlal treats his fans and praises his supporters has always been noticed.

The fabulous artiste is a recipient of five National Awards, several State and Filmfare awards, and the Padma Shri. In 2008, Mohanlal became the first actor ever to receive the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel by Territorial Army.

The actor who looks way younger than his actual age has got several big budget, much awaited movies in his kitty. Here’s wishing the ‘Complete Actor’ a very happy birthday and several more years of active screen presence.
