In the glitzy and glamorous world of Indian cinema, star kids come and go like shooting stars. Some fade away into obscurity, while a rare few rise high enough to carry forward a legacy written in gold. But carrying the weight of a legendary surname is never easy; it is both a blessing and a burden. But there is one rare gem who has not only managed to take his legacy forward but also make it shine. This actor is none other than Pranav Mohanlal, son of Malayalam cinema’s megastar Mohanlal.
Pranav Mohanlal’s Hit
Pranav’s latest release, the psychological horror thriller Dies Irae, directed by Rahul Sadasivan, has opened to unanimously glowing reviews. The eerie drama centers around a boy, Rohan, who is a young architect who begins sensing a supernatural presence in his home. As the mystery deepens, it leaves the audience looking for what’s coming next.
Besides Pranav, the film also stars Jaya Kurup and Jibin Gopinath. From the film’s strong screenplay, sharp direction, and Pranav’s intense central performance, the film is getting a lot of love from the audience. Within just a week of release, Dies Irae crossed the Rs 50-crore mark worldwide, turning into one of the year’s biggest Malayalam successes.
The Rs 50-Crore Hat-Trick
What’s interesting is that this is not the first time any actor has received this feat. Before Pranav, there is only one other Malayalam actor who has done this before: deliver three consecutive ₹50-crore hits. His earlier films, Hridayam and Varshangalkk, had already entered the same elite club. Now, Dies Irae makes it a historic hat trick.
Interestingly, the first actor to achieve this same record was none other than his father, Mohanlal, whose 2025 releases, Hridayapoorvam, Empuraan, and Thudarum, were all box-office smashes that crossed Rs 50 crore worldwide.
Father, Son, and the Box-Office Bond
Mohanlal, who was recently honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, continues to stand as the eternal icon of Malayalam cinema. And now, his son walks the same path. With Dies Irae, Pranav Mohanlal isn’t just proving himself, but he is also taking his legacy forward.
