Vasudevan, who gained significant recognition for her role in the Malayalam film ‘Thanmathra’ alongside actor Mohanlal, shared her marital status update on Instagram on November 16th. In her post, she declared herself to be single and embracing a “wonderful and peaceful phase of my life.” The comments section on her announcement was subsequently disabled.

The actress and Vipin met on the sets of the popular television serial ‘Kudumbavilakku,’ where he served as a cinematographer. Their professional interaction eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship, culminating in their wedding in Coimbatore. Vipin, who hails from Palakkad, has a notable career in cinematography, having worked on various television projects and documentaries.

Following the announcement, Vasudevan has reportedly removed all photographs and videos featuring Vipin from her social media platforms, including their wedding day memories.

This marks Vasudevan’s third marriage. Her previous marriage was to actor John Kokken, with whom she has a son. They were married from 2012 to 2016. Prior to that, she was married to Vishal Agarwal for five years, from 2005 to 2010.

Amidst these personal developments, Meera Vasudevan also recently marked a significant professional milestone: 25 years in the film and television industry. She expressed her gratitude on Instagram, celebrating her quarter-century journey as an actress and artist.

While she has worked in multiple languages, Vasudevan’s performance in ‘Thanmathra’ remains a cherished memory for her Malayalam audience. She has also appeared in several other Malayalam films and successfully transitioned to television serials, amassing a considerable following of over 115,000 on Instagram.

Through a post managed by her parents, Deva Nandha shared a clip of Prakash Raj’s statements and added her perspective. She argued, “Close your eyes to the kids, but don’t say it’s dark all over here. Children are also part of this society.” She felt the jury’s announcement for the 2024 Malayalam Film Awards ignored the future generation of filmmakers and artists.

Nandha emphasized that children are integral to society and the film industry. She highlighted recent films featuring young actors, such as ‘Sthanarthi Sreekuttan’, ‘Gu’, ‘Phoenix’, and ‘Ajayante Randam Moshanam’ (ARM). She believes that instead of omitting the awards, the jury should have used them to encourage more child-centric productions. “If it had been given to two children, it would have become energy for many children,” she stated.

She further expressed her dismay that the jury chairman, who had previously spoken about providing more opportunities for children and acknowledging their societal role, overlooked the rights of young performers. Deva Nandha urged the media, filmmakers, and the public to engage in a discussion about this issue, advocating for change and the protection of children’s rights within the industry.

The 55th Kerala State Film Awards, announced on November 3, 2025, had a seven-member jury chaired by veteran actor Prakash Raj. During a press conference, Raj explained the absence of Best Children’s Film and Best Child Artist awards, stating, “This year, we did not give awards for Best Children’s Film or Best Child Artist because we didn’t find any film or attempt that truly represented children. Directors and writers must realise that children are also part of society.”

Prithviraj Sukumaran himself revealed in a conversation that he committed to the project around 2008-2009, marking a 16-year span before its eventual release. He described the film’s presence as a constant throughout his evolving career. ‘The Goat Life’ is now available for audiences to stream on Netflix, where it is finding a new audience and gaining attention online.

The film, which boasts an IMDb rating of 7.1, tells a compelling story of survival. While critical reception and audience scores on platforms like IMDb indicate quality, this did not translate into box office earnings. Industry trackers reported a worldwide gross collection of approximately Rs 157.35 crore, with the net collection in India reaching around Rs 85.01 crore and an overseas collection of Rs 59.5 crore.

Prithviraj Sukumaran, a versatile actor and director, was recently seen in the action drama ‘Sarzameen’ and is slated to appear in ‘Salaar 2’. He previously made his directorial debut with the successful film ‘Lucifer’.

Mohanlal’s most significant year was 1986 when he acted in 34 films. At 26, he achieved this incredible feat, earning him immense recognition. Notably, 25 of those 34 films were box-office blockbusters. In that year, a film of his was released every 15 days. Mohanlal has also made a name for himself as a filmmaker. He is a prominent figure in the Malayalam industry. Regarding his personal life, Mohanlal was born to Viswanathan Nair and Santha Kumari in Elathur, Pathanamthitta district. His father was a government lawyer. Mohanlal developed an interest in drama during his school years. When he was in sixth grade, he received the Best Actor award. He had portrayed a 90-year-old man at a young age. After completing his graduation, he entered the world of acting and achieved success. Mohanlal has also made a name for himself not only as an actor but also as a producer, playback singer, distributor, director, and businessman. He has been awarded the Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, and five National Awards. He has acted in over 400 films. In 1988, he married Suchitra, and they have two children. He owns a film company named Pranavam Arts and has several other businesses.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Dulquer revealed that Priyadarshan questioned the project, stating he didn’t understand the decision to undertake such a venture. Dulquer admitted he believed in the idea, though he was unsure of its success. He added that his father, veteran actor Mammootty, also shared these concerns. Despite their initial reservations, both were said to be very proud of the final outcome.

Kalyani Priyadarshan noted that the first message she received from her father after the film’s positive reception was a reminder not to let success get to her head, nor failure affect her heart. She shared that he consistently reinforces this message.

In another interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kalyani Priyadarshan lauded Dulquer Salmaan for supporting a project like ‘Lokah’. She emphasized the courage required to invest time and resources into such a distinctive film, suggesting this kind of subject matter may not be as prevalent in other film industries. She viewed Dulquer as a risk-taker, noting a similar spirit in his parents and her own.

The official streaming partner for ‘Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra’ has yet to be announced. However, it is reported by Indiatimes that the film will likely be available on Netflix following its theatrical release. Previous Dulquer Salmaan productions, ‘Kurup’ and ‘Maniyarayile Ashokan,’ were also released on Netflix.
