Malavika Mohanan's Unexpected Path to Stardom
30 Jan
Summary
- Aamir Khan first suggested Malavika Mohanan become an actor.
- She applied to FTII's editing course but was not accepted.
- Mammootty offered her a leading role in a Malayalam film.

Malavika Mohanan's foray into acting was not a childhood ambition, but rather a suggestion from actor Aamir Khan. While visiting the set of 'Talaash', for which her father served as cinematographer, Khan noted her potential and encouraged her to consider acting.
Initially, Mohanan pursued a different academic path, applying to the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) for editing. However, her admission was not successful. This seemingly missed opportunity paved the way for a different breakthrough. Subsequently, acclaimed actor Mammootty directly offered her a leading role in a Malayalam film, marking her official debut.
