Decades of absence from the movie industry never plunged her ratings, as was evident when the actress decided to launch back her career with a slew of family entertainers. Jyotika is acting alongside Malayalam megastar Mammootty in ‘Kaadhal’ which will see her return to Mollywood after a gap of more than 11 years.

A quirky caption also followed which said "Mom turned upside spells wow."
