# Thudakkam Gives Vismaya Mohanlal and Adithya Lakshmi Unusual Debuts 2026-08-14T16:28:04+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Vismaya Mohanlal’s acting debut in Jude Anthany Joseph’s Thudakkam has also brought an unexpected first for Adithya Lakshmi. Adithya, who plays Meenu’s friend Priya, dubbed Vismaya’s voice after the team felt the Malayalam slang did not sound natural in Vismaya’s own dubbing. Onmanorama reports that Adithya learnt about the change just two days before recording, following a suggestion from Suchitra Mohanlal. Vismaya says fear, self-doubt and the pressure of being Mohanlal’s daughter delayed her entry into films. She enjoyed Meenu’s action scenes and hopes the character inspires girls. Adithya, who studied at Kalamandalam and works as a dance and Zumba instructor, says acting was her dream, while dubbing was never planned. The film also links their families through Adithya’s mother, actor Anu Anand. ## Coverage - onmanorama.com - onmanorama.com Tags: Adithya Lakshmi, Jude Anthany Joseph, Mohanlal, Thudakkam, Vismaya Mohanlal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/adithya-lakshmi-voices-vismaya-mohanlal-in-thudakkam-debut/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
