Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s daughter is set to make her acting debut. Vismaya Mohanlal will play the lead in Jude Anthany Joseph’s Thudakkam.

Pranav Mohanlal, Vismaya’s brother, wished his sister the best. The Hridayam actor wrote on Instagram, “My sister is taking her first step into the world of cinema. Incredibly proud of and excited for her as she goes on this journey.”
Jude Anthany Joseph, coming on the back of the humungous success of 2018, said he is set to make a “small, humble film.” “I see this as a calling. When my dear Lalettan (Mohanlal) and Suchichechi (Suchitra Mohanlal) entrusted me with their beloved Maya’s debut film, I saw the sheer joy and hope that filled their eyes.
I won’t let you down, Lalettan and Chechi. I’m not making any grand claims; this is a small, humble film. I have always made films that speak to my heart, and this one is no different,” Anthany, also known for movies such as Ohm Shanthi Ohsaana (2014)and Sara’s (2021), wrote on social media.
