Mohanlal’s Daughter Drops 22 Kilos, Shocks Fans

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s had a strong year with two solid hits, L2: Empuraan and Thudarum. But this time, it’s his daughter Vismaya who’s turning heads. She’s all set to make her acting debut, and what’s surprised everyone is her dramatic transformation. Vismaya has lost 22 kilos for her first film, Thudakkum. Quietly, and without a media frenzy, she’s gone from being body-shamed online to walking into her first film as a lead.

It’s still rare to see daughters of big stars step into the industry, especially in lead roles. Vismaya is changing that. The film is being produced under Aashirvaad Cinemas by Antony Perumbavoor, and directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, the man behind the blockbuster 2018. Mohanlal posted a simple, personal message for her on X, calling her debut a “bond with cinema.” There’s no big PR campaign here, just a daughter trying to step into a world that’s long been watching her from a distance.

Vismaya’s weight loss didn’t happen overnight. She’s faced online trolling, mostly for her appearance, but she didn’t make a noise about it. She just showed up months later looking different, leaner, sharper, and more focused. No gym selfies, no transformation videos. Just change, done quietly. People who follow her online noticed the shift, and now with the film news out, it all makes sense.

Her brother Pranav has already found his own space in cinema without chasing stardom, and now Vismaya’s on the same path. Whether Thudakkum hits or not, she’s already done something that’s hard in the spotlight, showing up with honesty and work. No filters, no overhype. Just one step at a time.
