Malavika Mohanan is currently riding high on anticipation as she gears up for a slew of exciting releases. Up next, the talented actress will be seen in one of the year’s most-awaited pan-India films — The Rajasaab, starring Prabhas. With the teaser already out and generating significant buzz, fans are loving Malavika’s presence and are eager to see her on the big screen.
As she steps into this new phase of her career, it’s the perfect time to look back at where it all began. Malavika made a powerful impression in Petta, where she shared screen space with the legendary Rajinikanth. It was on those sets that the superstar recognized her potential and offered words of encouragement that have stayed with her to this day.
In a heartfelt post on X, Malavika had once recalled the impact Rajinikanth had on her early days in the industry. “He was the first person who ever clapped for me right after the my ‘father’s death scene’ in the film. He was the first one to tell me you’ll will go on to be a big star in the future. He was the only one at that point to give words of encouragement constantly to a nervous new girl in a new industry pursuing big dreams. I love you so much. You are truly truly one of a kind and this film will always be closest to my heart,” she wrote.
That belief is now becoming a reality.With a powerful lineup including The Rajasaab and the Malayalam biggie Hridayapoorvam alongside Mohanlal, Malavika is rising across industries. Whether it’s Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, or Hindi, the actress is making confident strides, establishing herself as a true pan-India star. With charisma, screen presence, and talent on her side, Malavika Mohanan is clearly on a stellar path — just as the Thalaiva once predicted.
