Mohanlal’s New Ad With Feminine Twist Goes Viral
Malayalam cinema is known for its bold and creative storytelling, often setting trends in Indian film. Reflecting this spirit, a new jewellery commercial featuring superstar Mohanlal has taken the internet by storm.
The Barroz actor, admired for his powerful performances in Drishyam 2, Neru, and Thudarum, surprised fans with a unique, feminine twist in his latest ad. Without a single word, Mohanlal steals the show using only expressive gestures and mannerisms, showcasing his unmatched versatility.
Directed by renowned filmmaker Prakash Varma, the 110-second ad begins with Mohanlal arriving on a fashion photography set. He’s introduced to model Shivani, who dazzles in diamond jewellery. As the shoot unfolds, the story playfully shifts—Shivani and the director leave, and the jewellery mysteriously disappears. Panic spreads, but Mohanlal soon reappears wearing the ornaments and confidently posing with feminine grace.
The unexpected twist sparked a flood of reactions online. While some viewers criticized the ad for showing the actor in a ladylike avatar—contrasting his traditionally masculine image—many praised his boldness and effortless performance.
Social media buzzed with admiration for the veteran actor. One user posted, Only Lalettan can pull this off, while others described his act as graceful, fearless, and even cringe-worthy—in the best way.
Mohanlal’s latest role once again proves why he's called the Complete Actor—fearless, versatile, and always ready to surprise.
