A new film is hitting the big screens, and while it’s drawing a crowd, it’s also sparking some serious online debate. We’re talking about ‘Hridayapoorvam,’ a movie that just made its grand entrance in theaters today. But before anyone could even grab their popcorn, a big talking point emerged, especially around its lead actress, Malavika Mohanan.
The buzz started a couple of days ago, on Tuesday, when the film’s trailer dropped. Naturally, it built excitement. But it also put Malavika Mohanan right in the spotlight – and not just for her acting. People online quickly noticed the significant age difference between her and co-star, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. And boy, did they have things to say!
Malavika Mohanan in Hridayapoorvam: The Age Gap Controversy
So, what’s the big deal? Malavika Mohanan is currently 32 years old. Her celebrated co-star, Mohanlal, is 65. That’s a 33-year gap, which caught the eye of many viewers. The internet, being the internet, started a lively discussion, with many criticizing Malavika for the pairing. Some even directed their comments towards Mohanlal himself. But Malavika isn’t one to shy away. She’s now spoken up, telling everyone to hold their horses and see the film before jumping to conclusions.
Don’t Judge a Book by Its Trailer
Malavika gave her take on the situation during a chat with Ginger Media Entertainments. She revealed that she’s personally responded to some of these comments. According to the actress, it’s a bit childish to form opinions about a movie’s story or script without actually knowing it. Her message is clear: watch the film first.
She added, “If, after watching it, you still feel it’s an unusual subject, then go ahead and comment. That’s fair enough.” Malavika stands by the idea that everyone has the right to an opinion. However, she emphasized that commenting without proper knowledge just isn’t the right way to go about it.
It’s Not a Normal Love Story
To give a little more insight without spoiling anything, Malavika hinted that ‘Hridayapoorvam’ isn’t your typical romantic flick. She explained that its storyline is quite unique. The actress shared that the film follows two complete strangers who unexpectedly cross paths at a certain point in their lives. From there, their story begins to unfold. So, for those expecting a standard love story, it might be something entirely different.
A Special Reunion for Mohanlal and Sathyan Anthikad
On a separate, exciting note for fans, ‘Hridayapoorvam’ marks a special reunion. Actor Mohanlal and director Sathyan Anthikad are working together again after a decade! This collaboration, along with the curiosity generated by the trailer, has made ‘Hridayapoorvam’ a much-talked-about film as it opens in cinemas today. So, perhaps Malavika is right: sometimes, you just need to experience the full story before making your judgment.
