Malavika Mohanan Stands Up Against Age-Gap Troll Amidst Upcoming Film with Mohanlal

Malayalam cinema icon Mohanlal is collaborating with actress Malavika Mohanan in the anticipated film, Hridayapoorvam. Recently, Malavika addressed critical remarks regarding their significant age difference, which has become a topic of discussion online.

Troll’s Comment Sparks Response

The film, directed by renowned filmmaker Sathyan Anthikad, recently completed its first shooting schedule. On March 18, Malavika shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, celebrating her experiences on set with Mohanlal and the crew. However, her post attracted unwarranted attention when a user commented on the 33-year age gap between her and the veteran actor.

In her original post, Malavika reflected on her learning journey, expressing gratitude for the insights gained while working alongside cinematic legends. She described the joy of shooting in the picturesque hills and tea estates of Thekkadi, while also highlighting the supportive role of her assistant directors in making the film a success.

Response to the Troll

Addressing the troll’s comment, which questioned the appropriateness of a 65-year-old playing a romantic lead opposite a 30-year-old, Malavika boldly responded that the character dynamics should not be hastily judged. She emphasized the need to refrain from making “half-baked” assumptions about the film and the roles of the actors involved.

Malavika’s fans quickly rallied to her defense, countering the negative remarks with supportive comments that challenged the troll’s understanding and urged them to wait for the film’s release before forming opinions.

Looking Ahead to Hridayapoorvam’s Release

Despite the online backlash, anticipation for Hridayapoorvam continues to grow, with its release scheduled for August 25, 2025. The film is expected to showcase the talents of both Malavika and Mohanlal, promising to deliver a compelling narrative to audiences.
