[edit] Early life

Mohanlal was born on May 21, 1960 in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala State (India) to (Late.) Sri Viswanathan Nair and Smt Santhakumari [1]. He had an elder brother named (Late.) Pyare Lal. He did his schooling from Mudavanmukal School and Model School, Thiruvananthapuram(Trivandrum) and completed his BCom from M.G. College (Thiruvananthapuram).

He married Suchitra, daughter of veteran actor-producer K. Balaji, on 28 April 1988. He has two children - Pranav and Vismaya[2]. Commonly he is know as Prince of Kerala [3]. One of his classmates Priyadarshan is also one of the reputed film makers of Malayalam and Hindi film industry.

[edit] Career

While in college, he teamed up with his friends to establish a company called Bharath Cine Group and began shooting his first film titled Thiranottam, in which he played the role of a mentally retarded servant. The movie was directed by his friend Ashok Kumar who was his college mate in Mahatma Gandhi College, Thiruvananthapuram. Unfortunately, the film ran into trouble with the Censor Board and was never released.

His first major breakthrough came in the film Manjil Virinja Pookkal (1980), in which he played a villain. The film was a major hit, and Mohanlal followed it up with more roles as a villain, most notably in Uyarangalil.

In the meantime, he ventured into comedies as well, playing a role in his director-friend Priyadarshan's debut, Poochakkoru Mookkuthi. He soon established his credentials as an actor by proving his versatility by playing different roles.

The film named 'Rajavinte Makan' was a real break-through in his career. It was this movie that made him a superstar. This period also saw him joining hands with many noted artistes like Padmarajan, Sreenivasan, Sathyan Anthikkad, Priyadarshan giving many notable movies like "Naadodikkattu", "Thoovaanathumbikal", "Nammukku Paarkan Munthirithoppukal", "T.P.Balagopalan M.A.", etc.
