Malavika Mohanan has emerged as one of the most talked-about actresses in Indian cinema, riding high on the roaring success of Hridayapoorvam. The film’s acclaim not only cemented her reputation as a powerful performer but also placed her firmly in the spotlight as a leading name to watch out for in the industry.
Malavika Mohanan reveals why she’s now choosing memorable characters over big-budget films
In a candid reflection on her evolving career choices, Malavika opened up about how her priorities as an actor have shifted over time. “Initially, when you’re an actor, the goal is to work with the ‘biggest’ stars and directors and then gradually your goals shift. Mine is that I want to play memorable characters because that’s the only thing that’s genuinely going to stand the test of time. I could be a part of a big film, but if it’s not a great role…”
Sharing more about her journey, she explained, “We all do films like to climb up at the beginning, when you’re still solidifying your position. You’re not in a position to choose; you have to slowly carve out a niche for yourself. I reached a point where I just knew I had to play memorable, well-written female characters and go for directors who are good at bringing that to life. I have been a huge fan of Sathyan Anthikad’s female characters because he has a beautiful gaze through which he writes his female characters. They’re layered, they have agency.”
Malavika also revealed her aspirations in Bollywood, highlighting her selectiveness about projects. “I want to work in something really exciting even in Hindi. So that’s something I’m particular about,” she remarked, underlining her clarity of vision in choosing roles that resonate deeply with her artistic sensibilities.
With two of the most anticipated projects on the horizon, Malavika is set to raise the bar yet again. She will next be seen in The Raja Saab alongside Prabhas and in Sardar 2 with Karthi, both of which promise to showcase her versatility and further solidify her place among the finest talents of her generation.
