Mohanlal to be conferred with Dadasaheb Phalke Award
On Saturday evening, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting announced that Mohanlal will be conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award on 23 September at the 71st National Film Awards ceremony. Reacting to the news, he wrote on social media, “I am deeply humbled and profoundly honored to receive The Dadasaheb Phalke Award. My heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji for your kind words and blessings, they fill me with encouragement and joy. I remain ever indebted to the art of cinema and to all those whose inspiration and support illuminate my journey.”
Recent work
Mohanlal had a disappointing 2024, with the films Malaikottai Vaaliban and Barroz 3D failing to make a mark with critics and at the box office despite being highly publicised. However, he bounced back this year with the releases of L2 Empuraan and Thudarum, both crossing the ₹200 crore threshold at the box office and becoming the highest-grossers in Malayalam cinema, other than Lokah: Chapter 1—Chandra and Manjummel Boys. Vismaya announced in July that she is debuting in Mollywood with Jude Anthany Joseph’s Thudakkam.
