A recent tweet from an alleged supporter of right-wing ideology made derogatory remarks about the Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, calling him ‘a closet Muslim’ and ‘bigot’. This tweet sparked a wave of memes from Twitter users who are fans of Mohanlal and Malayalis. Rather than reacting angrily to this offensive statement, people responded with humor.
One individual countered the allegation by sharing a humorous picture of Vijayan (played by Sreenivasan) and Dasan (played by Mohanlal), the iconic duo from the beloved film ‘Naadodikattu’, dressed in traditional Arab attire. The caption humorously stated, “Unseen footage of Mohanlal and Sreenivasan undergoing conversion.” Another person took it a step further and commented, “Both are Gafoor’s friends too,” referencing a famous dialogue delivered by the late Mamukkoya.
Others also shared images of Mohanlal in his roles as Kunjali Marakkar, the Muslim-Arab warrior of Arab descent in the film ‘Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea,’ and Georgekutty from ‘Drishyam.’ One tweep humorously remarked, “He is known as Mohammed An Lal Ila ha Ilalallah, shortened as Mohanlal. He kills cows and buries them in his farm as a hobby,” referring to a plot element from Mohanlal’s blockbuster film ‘Drishyam’.
