Mohanlal's Son Returns with New Movie Shocker

He may not chase the limelight like his legendary father, but when Pranav Mohanlal reappears, people notice. Telugu audiences fondly remember him from Hridayam, the 2022 romantic drama that became a quiet sensation. Paired with Kalyani Priyadarshan and Darshana Rajendran, Pranav impressed with his calm presence and grounded performance.

Unlike Mohanlal, who constantly reinvents himself across genres, Pranav has chosen a slower, more selective approach. Post the success of Varshangalkku Shesham, he even took a break to explore life — literally shepherding in Spain. While he did make a short cameo in Empuraan, the buzz now surrounds his next full-length role.

The surprise twist? He’s venturing into horror for the first time with Dice Ire, a psychological thriller directed by Rahul Sadasivan, the mind behind Bhootakaal and Brahma Yugam. Post-production is reportedly in full swing, and fans are curious to see if this genre shift will spark a more active phase in Pranav’s career.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal himself is rewriting Malayalam cinema’s box office history, with Thudarum and Empuraan crossing massive global milestones. Whether Dice Ire helps Pranav step out of his father’s towering shadow or not, the timing of his comeback could not be more interesting.
