Mohanlal, affectionately called Lalettan by millions of his fans across the world has maintained an admirable career with some of the biggest hits that Malayalam cinema has ever seen, to his credit! Ever since making his debut as the lead antagonist in his first release Manjil Virinja Pookkal (1980) at the age of 20, Mohanlal has never had to turn back.
