The Malayalam film industry is buzzing with excitement following the momentous announcement of “#Thudakkam ” (The Beginning), a film that marks the highly anticipated acting debut of Vismaya Mohanlal, daughter of the legendary superstar Mohanlal. This significant news was officially unveiled today, July 1, 2025, by none other than Mohanlal himself and the prestigious production house, Aashirvad Cinemas.
Directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, a filmmaker celebrated for his compelling narratives and commercial successes like the recent blockbuster “2018,” “#Thudakkam ” is poised to be a cinematic event. The film is being produced by the stalwart Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, a name synonymous with some of Malayalam cinema’s biggest and most iconic productions.
The announcement was met with an outpouring of enthusiasm across social media. Mohanlal shared a heartfelt message for his daughter, expressing his pride and best wishes: “Dear Mayakutty, may your ‘#Thudakkam ‘ be just the first step in a lifelong love affair with cinema.” Aashirvad Cinemas also extended a warm welcome, stating their immense pride in introducing Vismaya Mohanlal to the silver screen, emphasizing her arrival as “a new voice, a fresh vision, and the dawn of a luminous new chapter.” Jude Anthany Joseph also shared his sentiments, expressing his gratitude to Mohanlal and Suchitra for entrusting him with Vismaya’s debut, promising to not let them down.
#Vismaya Mohanlal is already known for her artistic sensibilities, having previously penned and published a book of poems titled “Grains of Stardust” in 2021, showcasing her flair for creative expression. Her entry into the film industry follows in the footsteps of her elder brother, Pranav Mohanlal, who has carved his own niche as an actor.
With a powerful lineage in the industry, a director known for extracting strong performances, and the backing of a leading production house, “#Thudakkam ” is generating immense curiosity and high expectations. While further details about the cast and crew are yet to be revealed, the initial announcement alone has set the stage for what promises to be a significant and memorable “beginning” for Vismaya Mohanlal’s journey in the world of cinema.
