Thangalaan’s hidden gem: This Malayali actress shocks everyone including Vikram

Vikram’s latest film, ‘Thangalaan’, has garnered significant attention, largely due to his compelling performance in the lead role. However, another star has also captured the audience's admiration—a Malayali actress, Malavika Mohanan. 

Malavika has delivered an outstanding performance in the film, winning praise from viewers.

In ‘Thangalaan’, Malavika plays the role of Aarathi, a crucial character in the story, even though she is not the film's heroine. Those who have seen the movie have expressed their appreciation for her powerful portrayal, noting that her performance is so remarkable it even took Vikram by surprise.

One user on X wrote, "Aarathi is a sure shot for the 71st National Awards next year for Thangalaan"

Another user, Bollywood Dadi, said that Malavika's role will be a topic of discussion in the history of Indian cinema. The post reads, "Malavika Mohanan's challenging portrayal of Aarathi, a mystical tribe woman in Chiyaan Vikram's Thangalaan is going to be topic of discussion in history of Indian Cinema! "

‘Thangalaan’, produced under the banner of Studio Green and Neelam Productions, is a high-budget film, as confirmed by producer Gnanavel Raja. The movie is based on an incident that occurred in the Kolar Gold Fields during the British era in the 19th century.

Malayali audiences can take pride in the fact that both Malavika Mohanan and Parvathy Thiruvothu play significant roles in ‘Thangalaan’.
