I would like to do a role like Mohanlal’s in that movie: Fahadh Faasil

Fahadh Faasil, like many other mainstream actors, has always admired veteran actor Mohanlal's extraordinary talent. The complete actor is widely regarded as one of India's greatest performers and remains the biggest superstar in contemporary Malayalam cinema. Known for his incredible acting range, Mohanlal’s unmatched skills have made him a true icon in the industry.

In a recently resurfaced interview clip, Fahadh Faasil is seen speaking candidly about his inspirations and expressed a desire to play a role similar to Mohanlal's iconic character in the movie Sadayam. Fahadh shared, "I have had a lot of influences. I would very much like to do a role like Mohanlal’s in Sadayam. There should be a movie like that first. I don’t know if I can do it well, but it was very much an inspiration."

Sadayam, directed by Sibi Malayil and written by the renowned M T Vasudevan Nair, remains one of the finest examples of Mohanlal’s acting prowess. The film, which tells the poignant story of Sathyanathan, a man on death row for the murder of two young girls and two men, stands out due to Mohanlal’s gripping performance. His portrayal of a man struggling with his guilt and fate is widely considered one of his best works. Sadayam is also regarded as Sibi Malayil's finest directorial effort, showcasing the perfect blend of storytelling and acting.

Mohanlal once talked about his acting method, saying, “I don’t know the grammar of anything. I believe that everything is happening because of some fortune. When being loved as an actor, I am also strongly criticised. I can recognise the productive criticisms. So, I accept them and try to correct myself. But most of them are not coming out of positive thoughts. So I ignore them, remembering Osho’s famous words, ‘I like gossip more than the gospel’.”
