2. His Trademark Moustache

Mohanlal twisting his moustache has been very iconic since the 90s. Till date some of the famous actors still copy him – like Nivin Pauly in Premam. Every 80s/90s kid has waited to grow a moustache someday to twist it in the same way Mohanlal does.

5. Mohanlal made the ‘Mundu’ Sexy

Every Malayali knows that wearing a Mundu is sexy and hot. Girls ogle at guys who wear Mundu is a particular manner – especially during Onam times. Guess who taught Malayalis the ‘raise your left leg-hold your mundu-drag your fingers along its border -tie it’ style. It was none other than our beloved Mohanlal.

 

6. Mohanlal and ‘Bullet’

ROYAL would be the exact word to describe Mohanlal riding a bullet. His body position while riding becomes an instant match for the bullet. FYI to all the new-gen guys. Mohanlal made the ‘Bullet’ awesome before Dulqar did in NPKCB.

7. He didnt fight any CGI animals. He fought real tigers

When the cinema industry uses heavy CGI, Mohanlal defies all rules and fights real tigers in PuliMurugan. Isn’t that just amazing ?

8. He is an Inspiration to me and many others in ‘Thoovanathumbikal’  😉

Who can forget ‘Clara’ ? The rest is undersood.
