Pranav Mohanlal, Vismaya's brother, wished his sister the best. The Hridayam actor wrote on Instagram, 'My sister is taking her first step into the world of cinema. Incredibly proud of and excited for her as she goes on this journey.'
Jude Anthany Joseph, coming on the back of the humungous success of 2018, said he is set to make a 'small, humble film.' 'I see this as a calling. When my dear Lalettan (Mohanlal) and Suchichechi (Suchitra Mohanlal) entrusted me with their beloved Maya's debut film, I saw the sheer joy and hope that filled their eyes.
I won't let you down, Lalettan and Chechi. I'm not making any grand claims; this is a small, humble film. I have always made films that speak to my heart, and this one is no different,' Anthany, also known for movies such as Ohm Shanthi Ohsaana (2014)and Sara's (2021), wrote on social media.

Malayalam cinema legend Mammootty was in the headlines for his health-related rumours last week. The speculation about his ill health sparked concern among fans across the country, with many wondering whether he is doing well. Amid the buzz, a new photo of the star has emerged online, leaving fans mesmerised. Shared by George Sebastian, a close associate of Mammootty, the picture showcases Mammootty's effortless style. Sitting on a chair and casually looking at his phone, Mammootty rocked a green shirt, white trousers and matching sneakers, exuding laid-back charm. The candid photo was clicked by photographer Nazir Mohammed and a side note read, 'Nothing serious, it's just a chat time." In no time, the comment section was flooded with reactions filled with admiration. A fan wrote, 'What is Malayalam cinema without you brother. The boss is coming." Another die-hard admirer joined in to add, 'Expecting a mass entry." Excited, one of them also said, 'The waiting period is over. It's time! The Return of the King." Earlier last month, Rajya Sabha MP and Mammootty's close friend John Brittas shared the actor's health update in a conversation with Reporter TV. He said, 'Mammootty is suffering from a minor health complication and is currently receiving treatment. He is okay, and I just had a phone conversation with him."

Meet star who romance Aishwarya Rai, once challenged many stars, then lost all his money, cleaned toilets, drive taxis to earn money, name is....
The South cinema has given numerous seasoned actors to the audience. From Rajinikanth to Kamal Haasan, there have been various actors who not only won hearts in the South but also across the globe. Today, we will talk about one of those actors who was fondly called the heartthrob of the 1990s. He made his debut with Kadhal Desam, following which he delivered several superhits and established himself as a leading star. However, there is a saying that the faster you climb the ladder of success, the quicker you come down as well — and something similar happened with this actor. The man in discussion, after being hailed as a leading hero, was soon limited to supporting roles and cameos after some of his projects flopped. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then he is none other than Mirza Abbas Ali. Who is Actor Mirza Abbas Ali? Mirza Abbas Ali was born on May 21, 1975, and predominantly worked in Tamil and Telugu cinema, along with a few Malayalam and Hindi films. He featured in notable successful films including VIP (1997), Pooveli (1998), Jeans (1998), Padayappa (1999), Suyamvaram (1999), Malabar Police (1999), and Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000). However, there was a time when Mirza faced both highs and lows. In an interview, the actor revealed that, devastated after failing his Class 10 exams and being dumped by his girlfriend, he contemplated ending his life. However, he chose not to and gave himself a second chance. After deciding to start fresh, Mirza tried his luck in the world of cinema and did find success. He became an overnight star. There was a time when he worked with actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Tabu, and more. Sadly, he then vanished from the industry. Mirza Abbas Ali faced bankruptcy not once or twice, but four times, forcing him to work as a taxi driver and clean toilets to make ends meet. In an interview, Abbas said, 'Following my initial achievements, some of my movies faced failure, leaving me financially destitute and unable to afford even basic necessities like rent or cigarettes. I soon approached producer RB Choudary, requesting work. He offered me the opportunity to be part of the film Pooveli. However, I eventually left films because I got bored. I wasn't enjoying my work.' After 2015, Mirza Abbas Ali eventually left acting and relocated to New Zealand.
