Kerala’s 140 Assembly constituencies lit up on April 9 with voters flocking to booths, joined by a galaxy of Malayalam cinema stars. The sight of familiar faces from the silver screen underscored the election’s broad appeal.
Superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal set examples early. Mammootty, accompanied by his wife, navigated the polling station with a mask. Mohanlal proudly displayed his voter’s ink online, making a heartfelt plea for mass turnout.
Prithviraj Sukumaran amplified the message via social media, sharing his inked finger and a video to stress voting’s importance. Kunchacko Boban captured the moment in a group video, beaming with pride after voting, his recent hit ‘Officer on Duty’ still fresh in minds.
Dulquer Salmaan, hot from ‘DK 41’, and Tovino Thomas with his family in Thrissur added to the star power. When pressed on political ambitions, Tovino quipped he’s steering clear of that particular spotlight for now.
This confluence of entertainment and democracy paints a picture of engaged citizenry. With peaceful polling underway, Kerala’s electorate is poised to decide its next chapter, inspired by these icons’ commitment.
