The book promises to offer fans deep insights into Mohanlal’s life and work, chronicling his evolution as an actor and a cultural icon. According to reports, Mukharagam will go beyond his acting career to explore his roles as a producer, entrepreneur, and even his honorary rank as a Lieutenant Colonel, shedding light on the multifaceted personality behind the screen.
The timing of this announcement comes after a remarkably successful year for Mohanlal. In 2025, he scored back-to-back hits with L2: Empuraan and Thudarum, both critically acclaimed and commercially triumphant.
