As someone who discovered Malayalam cinema through Mohanlal's dubbed films in Telugu, I can say he's one of the most natural actors I've ever seen. Company and Janatha Garage were brilliant!

While I appreciate the recognition, I wish our politicians would show this same unity and appreciation for artists when it comes to policy matters affecting the film industry. But still, happy for Mohanlal sir! 🎬
