Malayalam cinema veteran Mohanlal was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the highest honour in Indian cinema, at the 71st National Film Awards on Tuesday evening at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. Mohanlal is 65 years old when he received the award, which makes him the youngest to get it and the second Keralite to be given the distinction, after director Adoor Gopalakrishnan, who received it in 2004.

An emotional Mohanlal, while accepting the award, said,

As the voice of the Malayalam film industry, I am greatly obliged to be the youngest to be honored and just the second from the state ever to have received this national award. This achievement is not my own, it is of the entire Malayalam film fraternity.

A special tribute movie was shown during the ceremony, detailing his long and successful career spanning over four decades and over 350 films in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada cinema. Mohanlal spoke of the honour, saying,

I see this award as a group tribute to our industry, its legacy, creativity, and resilience. I believe this is destiny’s hand in enabling me to receive this award on behalf of all the people who have contributed to Malayalam cinema.

Director Priyadarshan, known for his hit films across multiple languages, is currently working on his next big Hindi project titled Haiwaan. The movie stars Bollywood heavyweights Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. Priyadarshan confirmed that Malayalam superstar Mohanlal will also appear in the film—though only in a cameo.

Priyadarshan Talks About Mohanlal’s Cameo In Haiwaan

When asked about pairing Mohanlal and Akshay in a full-fledged film, Priyadarshan explained that he doesn’t start with actors in mind. Speaking to Pinkvilla, he said, “For me, it always begins with the story,” he said. “Mohanlal is part of Haiwaan, but I don’t want to reveal more about his role yet.”

About Haiwaan

Haiwaan is a Hindi thriller directed by Priyadarshan, bringing Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan together on screen. It is said to be adapted from Mohanlal’s 2016 Malayalam hit Oppam. The film is produced by Thespian Films and KVN Productions and is scheduled to release in theatres in 2026. The cast also features Samuthirakani, Saiyami Kher, Shreya Pilgaonkar, veteran actor Asrani, and Icelandic actor Einar Haraldsson.

Akshay Kumar will be seen in Haiwaan after the release of Jolly LLB 3, while Saif Ali Khan was last seen in the thriller Jewel Thief. Mohanlal, who recently starred in the Onam release Hridayapoorvam, joins Haiwaan in a cameo that’s already creating excitement among fans.

Priyadarshan also revealed that Akshay will star in another upcoming project of his—a horror-comedy titled Bhooth Bangla. With its gripping storyline and powerful cast, Haiwaan is shaping up to be one of 2026’s most awaited releases.

Mohanlal’s Hridayapoorvam All Set For Its Digital Debut

Fans of Mohanlal who couldn’t make it to theatres this Onam have reason to celebrate. Hridayapoorvam, directed by the evergreen Sathyan Anthikad, is making its way to Jio Hotstar on September 26, 2025. The platform will premiere the film in Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada, making it accessible to viewers across regions.

Produced by Antony Perumbavoor’s Aashirvad Cinemas, the movie originally opened in theatres on August 28 as an Onam release. With its star-power, festive timing, and Anthikad’s signature slice-of-life touch, the film struck a chord with family audiences.



Plot, Cast and Reception

The film follows Sandeep (played by Mohanlal), a heart transplant survivor who travels to Pune to attend the engagement of his donor’s daughter. When unexpected circumstances force him to extend his stay, the trip unravels into an emotional journey about family, memory, and belonging.

Joining Mohanlal on screen are Malavika Mohanan, Sangeeth Prathap, and Sangita Madhavan Nair, among others. The ensemble brings both humour and poignancy, creating the kind of warmth that has long defined Sathyan Anthikad’s cinema.

Audiences and critics alike responded positively to the film’s mix of gentle comedy and heartfelt drama. At the same time, a few medical professionals in Kerala voiced concern over the accuracy of the transplant-related details portrayed, arguing that certain aspects did not align with medical realities. Still, Hridayapoorvam largely succeeded in delivering a feel-good narrative that resonated with its festive release window.

Reaching out to a Bigger Fanbase

The arrival of Hridayapoorvam on streaming ensures that its reach extends far beyond theatres. For long-time admirers of the Mohanlal–Anthikad partnership, the digital release is a chance to revisit their magic. For newer audiences, it’s an opportunity to experience one of Malayalam cinema’s most reliable actor-director duos in a contemporary setting.

The makers of Vrusshabha, starring Mohanlal, have dropped a teaser that sets the tone for an ambitious saga. Directed by Nanda Kishore, the film is set to release theatrically on October 16, coinciding with the Diwali festival.

The teaser hints at a narrative that cuts across two timelines, one rooted in the present day and another in a grand historical setting. Mohanlal takes centre stage in the period sequences, where he appears as a king, donning regal armour and exuding authority amid breathtaking visuals.



Star Cast, Crew and Creative Team Behind the Vision

Alongside Mohanlal, the film features Samarjit Lankesh, Ragini Dwivedi, Roshan Meka, Shanaya Kapoor, Zara Khan, and Srikanth Meka in key roles.

Vrusshabha is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, C.K. Padma Kumar, Varun Mathur, Saurabh Mishra, Abishek S Vyas, Praveer Singh, Vishal Gurnani, and Juhi Parekh Mehta. The project is presented by Connekkt Media and Balaji Telefilms in association with Abishek S Vyas Studios.

On the technical side, music is composed by Sam CS, while dialogues are penned by SRK, Janardhan Maharshi, and Karthik. The visual style and action choreography are helmed by a strong crew: Antony Samson (cinematography), KM Prakash (editing), Nanditha Singh and Mohan B Kere (production design), and stunt masters Peter Hein, Stunt Silva, and Nikhil.

What Audiences Can Expect This Diwali

Fans are excited about the contrast teased in the promo: a modern storyline interwoven with an epic past. Mohanlal’s turn as a warrior-king has already become a highlight, drawing praise for its scale and grandeur.

Production is now in its final stages, with dubbing and post-production nearing completion. The film is being positioned as a festive spectacle for Diwali, promising to showcase Mohanlal in a role that blends mass appeal with mythic scale. With a powerhouse cast, lush production values, and a story that spans eras, Vrusshabha is shaping up to be one of the season’s biggest releases.
