65-year-old man playing love interest of a 30-year-old! Netizen targets Mohanlal, Malavika hits back

Malavika Mohanan, one of the most sought-after actors in South Indian cinema, is currently filming for a Malayalam movie titled Hridayapoorvam, directed by Satyan Anthikad and featuring the legendary Mohanlal in the lead role.
After completing the first schedule of the film, she shared a post on social media along with some stills from the shoot. However, the post attracted criticism from a netizen who questioned the casting.
The comment read: “A 65-year-old man playing the love interest of a 30-year-old. What’s with these veteran actors desperate to play roles that don’t fit their ages?”
In reply, Malavika responded sharply: “Who told you it’s a love interest? Stop judging people and films with your half-baked, baseless assumptions.”
Meanwhile, Hridayapoorvam marks the reunion of director Satyan Anthikad and Mohanlal after a gap, promising a fresh cinematic experience. The ensemble cast also includes Siddique, Sangeetha, Nishan, Sangeet Prathap, and Lalu Alex.
Malavika’s bold response highlights her confidence and fearless nature, showing she’s ready to take criticism head-on. (With inputs from Agencies)
