[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.

[edit] Trivia

Aishwarya Rai made her debut against Mohanlal in Iruvar (tamil)

Mohanlal and Priyadarshan used to be arch enemies during their time at college. Both supported different rival political wing.

Mohanlal and his friends produced their first movie in 1978 'Thiranottam' which was never released.

Mohanlal was a amateur wrestler. He was due to go for the National championship in Delhi when he was called for auditioning by Navodaya for the role of Narendran in Manjil Virinja Pookkal directed by Fazil. His friends had sent his photographs to Navodya productions that was looking for fresh actors. He decided to go for the audition and rest is history.

Mohanlal's personal Assistant and Producer Antony Perumbaavoor was a taxi driver in Eranakulam and used to take Mohanlal from his hotel to the location of 'Pattanapravesam'. This started a good friendship and by the end of shooting Mohanlal asked Antony if he wants to be his driver. Antony has since been with Mohanlal and now produces films under the banner Aasirvaad Productions. His first movie (Narasimham)was a megahit.

Most of his best school-college mates are with him in the film industry....Priyadarshan, M.G.Sreekumar, Raju and prodcuer Suresh Kumar.

Mohanlal's friends and family call him Lalu.

Mohanlal's main hobby is collecting antiques and artifacts. He has a great collection of paintings

Mohanlal has acted only in three Tamil films even though his father in law was a famous Tamil producer. He agreed to do Iruvar only because of Mani Ratnam's persuasion.

Mohanlal is the youngest actor to get national award for the Best Actor

It is a little known fact that Mohanlal won a Best Actor Award when in the sixth standard in school, an award usually won only by the people from tenth standard. Actor Maniyanpilla Raju directed that stage drama and was the first person to put make up on Mohanlal's face.

Mohanlal reached Trivandrum in a helicopter from Palakkad because of tight schedules to attend Kaumudi honouring director Priyadarshan. Mohanlal said he would have felt ashamed of himself if he couldn't make it to a function that was honouring his best friend and their friendship.

Dr Rajkumar was a versatile actor who had essayed comedy, action, romance and mythological roles. Rajkumar had acted in more than 200 films.His all-time favourite film was Ashok Kumarâ€™s Kismet. He was a fan of Sanjeev kumar, Sivaji Ganesan, Nageshwar Rao and Mohanlal.Just notice that all his favourite actors were from his era except Mohanlal. He also claims to have seen most of his movies including "Thanmatra" before he expired.

Mohanlal might be the one and only Malayalam actor, whose glory came in TIME magazine. There was an article after the Toronto international film festival which screened his film "Iruvar". The article compared his acting style with Marlon Brando's classic style.

Mohanlal faced criticism from various corners due to an advertisement campaign for a liquor brand featuring him. Liquor ads are banned in India but the brands manages to advertise by putting their brandnames for various products like drinking water and soda and advertising those. In this ad Mohanlal seems to promote a banana chips brand, which in turn is a liquor brand as well.[6]

Mohanlal was also featured among 50 most powerful personalities by India Today

Mohanlal is known for his absolute commitment for any role to the extent of going through rigorous training in fine arts if required by the role. Examples include learning Bharatnatyam and other dance forms for the movie Kamaladalam, Kalari for the movie Thacholi Varghese Chekavar, Kathakali for the movie Vanaprastham to mention a few
