Top 10 Best Malayalam Actors

1.Mammootty

He is even called as one of the evergreen actor. Also, Mammootty ascertains time and time again that his awe-inspiring charm has not been fallen even at the age of 64. However, with a career duration extending for over three decades, Mammootty has performed in more than 350 films. Also, he achieved three national awards, five state awards, and several other awards.

Also, Megastar Mammotty is one of the best actor in indian cinema. Later after the broadcasting of “Peranpe” in rotterdam film festival, then reviewers named him FACE OF INDIAN CINEMA.

There is one aspect that Mohanlal fails, it is transforming himself into a character, and that’s definitely where Mammootty excels. Consider every character that Mohanlal has anywise done, but there will be always something familiar between them. The personality always becomes the actor. In any of his performance, one could easily recognize the actor. It would be nice, maybe even excellent, but Mohanlal maintains the original himself in every aspect that he plays, but still makes it remarkable anyway. However, when Mohanlal improvises himself as an identity, also the critics see an outstanding actor creating a masterwork. But when Mammootty does the same, critics witness life gasped into the character. I don’t think not many actors can come on equality with this veteran actor’s method and style.

Also, the actor mohanlal is one of the leading celebrity in malayalam. Besides, his movie break all the records and made one of the first 100cr movie (Pulimurugan) in mollywood.

However, Mohanlal doesn’t need an intro. His skills has been honored ever since he appeared into the silver screen. Moreover, Mohanlal has an extraordinary grip over realistic acting that I haven’t seen among many performers. He is also one of that kind who is born to perform. In his career that spans over 3 decades, the veteran actor has enchanted the crowd with several outstanding performances. Whatsoever is the role, howsoever tough it may be, but Mohanlal has always survived to pull it off with comfort. But also why is he placed in the second position then?
