One of the most iconic pairs in Malayalam cinema, Mohanlal and Shobana have starred alongside each other in over 50 films. The combination that started with 1985’s Avidathepole Ivideyum, the duo have acted in several landmark titles such as Nadodikkattu (1987), Vellanakalude Nadu (1988), Manichithrathazhu (1993), Thenmavin Kombathu (1994), Minnaram (1994), Pavithram (1994), and so on.
