'He Has Never Done So Many Retakes': Vismaya Mohanlal On Working With Father Mohanlal In Thudakkam · NDTV

There is a new Malayalam movie called Thudakkam.

In it, two actors are starting their movie careers for the very first time.

They are Vismaya Mohanlal, the daughter of the very famous actor Mohanlal, and Ashish Antony, the son of a famous film producer.

Vismaya loved acting since she was a child, but she was scared of failing, so she waited until she was in her thirties to try.

In the movie, she does martial arts, and she knows a lot about it because she practices Muay Thai.

Ashish surprised everyone by playing a bad guy who does not speak at all in his first movie.

Both of them learned that making a movie takes a lot of hard work, and their families came to support them.

Vismaya hopes the movie will inspire people, especially women, to learn martial arts.

They also talked about mean comments on social media, which famous people often have to deal with.

Quotes

Vismaya Mohanlal

Daughter of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and actress

“"It was really cool. I was super excited, but when I got to the set, I was quite nervous because I suddenly got it into my head that I had to be good and get everything right. Once you get into your head like that, it becomes harder to actually do what you're supposed to do. It took a lot of takes. I don't think my dad has ever done that many takes in his life!"”

“"Recently, I got trolled quite a bit over a video of me on stage... I don't read the comments because I know they will affect me. But, as my dad told me, it’s part of the profession."”
