‘Kaathal-the Core’ makes Mohanlal the GOAT again; 'Allapicha Mollakka' trends across internet

Jeo Baby’s ‘Kaathal-the Core’ featuring Mammootty in the lead role is getting rave reviews from the audience for its daring attempt to bring a stigmatized theme to the forefront. The movie talks about a man's homosexual relationship that rips apart his marital life, leading his wife to file for divorce. Known for his knack for special scripts, Mammootty thrives in this movie showing his adaptability to what the script demands.

Even while many are singing paeans for Mammootty, some people on social media have unearthed how Malayalam actors have attempted to play homosexual roles without any inhibition in the past. All people unanimously cheered for actor Prithviraj’s portal of a rogue cop named Anthony Simon in the 2013 film ‘Mumbai Police’ or Nivin Pauly’s Akbar in 2019 released ‘Moothon’.

However, not many knew that it was indeed the ‘complete actor’ Mohanlal who first portrayed queer in Malayalam movies almost two decades ago. And now, his character 'Allapicha Mollakka' is going viral on social media spaces.

“Just tell me what more is there for this man to prove his class” This was one comment that appeared on social media praising Mohanlal’s versatility.

"Allappicha Mollaka" in Khazak's Ithihasam is a character that #Lalettan did years before Mammootty, Prithviraj and Nivin thought about homosexuality roles!

Which role is left for actor Mohanlal? Which character to play!
