Mohanlal is a talented and experienced star of Malayalam cinema. His versatility in any genre be it melodrama, romance, action or comedy is remarkable. He can bring alive any character with his superb body language. His success can be gauged from the fact that many non-Malayalees count him as one of their favorite actors. Over the years he has built an impressive repertoire of films, both in mainstream and art house categories. His Tamil appearance in Iruvar under Mani Ratnam and Popcarn under Nasser did not enthuse the box office. However, his recent Malayalam film Udayanaru daram has been a super hit all over Kerala. Hence, the film will be remade in Hindi with Anil Kapoor in the lead. There are also unconfirmed reports that there could be a Tamil version in the offering.
