Kochi: Vismaya Mohanlal, the daughter of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, is turning heads as she undertakes intense physical preparation for her much-anticipated acting debut. Shedding her previous roles as an author and artist, Vismaya is currently undergoing rigorous Muay Thai training in Thailand, signaling her serious commitment to her upcoming film, Thudakkam (The Beginning).
Vismaya shared glimpses of her dedicated workouts at the renowned FITKOH Fitness Camp in Thailand, training under coach Tony Olin. The intense sessions in the traditional Thai martial art suggest a physically demanding role in the new venture. Fans and industry observers are interpreting her return to the ring as the final stage of physical conditioning before she steps in front of the camera.
The film, Thudakkam, is directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, who is known for delivering career-defining hits. Joseph’s association has further fueled the excitement surrounding her launch. The director, along with Mohanlal himself, has publicly expressed faith in Vismaya’s potential. “Dear Mayakutty, may your ‘Thudakkam’ be just the first step in a lifelong affair with cinema,” Mohanlal had posted, offering his paternal blessing.
Before this cinematic plunge, Vismaya had already established her creative credentials as a poet, painter, and author, notably with her 2020 book, Grains of Stardust. She has also gained valuable on-set experience, having served as an assistant director for her father’s directorial debut, Barroz. With her multifaceted background and a renewed focus on physical discipline, Vismaya Mohanlal is poised to make a memorable “beginning” in the world of cinema.
