Kerala Actors Redefine Masculinity in Indian Cinema

Imagine some actors in movies are showing off jewelry and wearing clothes that aren't usually seen as "manly."

One actor, Mohanlal, is in an ad wearing jewelry, which is a bit different.

The article compares this to actors in Hindi movies, who don't always do this.

It gives examples of other actors who have challenged traditional ideas of what men in movies should be like.

The article questions whether actors in Hindi movies could also do this, like Hrithik Roshan, who has shown interest in taking on unconventional roles.
