'You need guts to do this...Sir, you are rocking!' Khushbu praises Mohanlal’s performance in viral ad

Veteran actress and BJP leader Khushbu Sundar has heaped praise on superstar Mohanlal for his latest advertisement with Vinsmera Jewels, calling it "an incredible commercial".

"What an incredible commercial this is!! You need guts to do this. And our powerhouse #Lalettan does this with aplomb. Accepting that natural femininity in every male is brought out so well. Acceptance and importance is displayed with so much finesse and care. Kudos to #PrakashVerma and the team for this very thoughtful idea. And @Mohanlal Sir, you are rocking! Only you could do justice to this. So proud of you," Khushbu wrote on X (formerly Twitter), lauding the ad’s message and the star's performance.

The new commercial featuring Mohanlal and acclaimed ad filmmaker-actor Prakash Varma has struck a chord on social media for its refreshing take on gender expression, layered with humour and emotional depth. The ad has been widely shared and praised across platforms, with fans and celebrities alike applauding its message and Mohanlal's subtle yet powerful screen presence.

This marks the first on-screen collaboration between Mohanlal and Varma since their Malayalam film Thudarum, a box office success.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal will next be seen in Sathyan Anthikad’s upcoming film Hridayapoorvam, starring alongside Malavika Mohanan and Sangeeth Prathap in the lead roles.

The film marks a long-awaited collaboration between the veteran director and the Malayalam superstar after several years.

The teaser, which has already garnered positive reactions, promises a heartwarming narrative and a refreshing return to classic Malayalam family cinema. Hridayapoorvam is scheduled for an Onam 2025 theatrical release.
