I have no stake in the outcome, but the revert war on this page needs to stop. It's up to 9RR in 5 days. Kerfuffler ( talk) 04:03, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
@ Jai98: The article contains many trivial elements that are not supported even by the expansive standards of the WP:FILMOGRAPHY guidelines. Unless a valid rationale for inclusion of "Director" and "Script Writer" is presented, they will be removed shortly. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:09, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
It is a known fact to all Keralites that Aashirvad Cinemas produces only Mohanlal films which is owned by Antony Perumbavoor, the close friend and former car driver of Mohanlal. Apparently in all films, the producer credits are given to Antony only. So it cannot be included in the list of producer credits of Mohanlal.-- Inside the Valley ( talk) 18:59, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Mohanlal is an Indian actor, producer, and singer who has starred in both blockbuster and art house films. [1] During his career, he has appeared in more than 320 feature films, primarily in Malayalam cinema, but also in other languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. [2] In 1978, when he was 18, he started acting with a minor comedic role in the unreleased film Thiranottam, before making his screen debut in 1980 as the antagonist in the romance film Manjil Virinja Pookkal. [3] His portrayal of Narendran, a sadistic husband, received recognition and the film developed a cult status in India. [4] [5] Subsequently, Mohanlal was cast as the antagonist in many films. His first sympathetic role was in Padayottam (1982), the first 70 mm film in Malayalam. [4] In 1984, he starred in Poochakkoru Mookkuthi, a comedy whose success pioneered the rise [is this true? Wording implies that comedies weren't around before the '80s. Perhaps "helped popularize"?] of the genre in the 1980s. [6] [7] In an early critically acclaimed performance, Mohanlal played an antihero in the I. V. Sasi-directed thriller Uyarangalil (1984). [8] In the same year, he co-founded Casino Films, [a] a motion picture production company, which later produced his popular comedies Gandhinagar 2nd Street (1986) and Nadodikkattu (1987). [9]
As a playback singer, Mohanlal contributed his first song [title?] to Onnanam Kunnil Oradi Kunnil (1985). [6] In 1986, he established a career record by starring in 34 films in one year. [2] Also in 1986, he won his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Malayalam for the family drama Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam [10] and his first Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for the comedic drama T. P. Balagopalan M. A. [6] (at 26, he was the youngest actor to win the award, a record he held until 2006). [11] The same year he co-founded Cheers Films, a second production company. [b] The [Indian entertainment press?] named Mohanlal a "superstar" after the success of the crime drama Rajavinte Makan (1986) [13] and he appeared in the highest grossing film in Malayalam cinema at the time, Irupatham Noottandu (1987). [14] His tragicomedy Chithram (1988) ran continuously for 58 weeks in one theatre. [15] In 1989, he earned his first National Film Award ( Special Jury Mention) for his portrayal of Sethumadhavan in Kireedam. [16]
In 1990, Mohanlal founded his own film production company,
Pranavam Arts.
[6] Its debut,
His Highness Abdullah, garnered critical acclaim and became the year's highest grossing film.
[17] His second production,
Bharatham (1991), earned him the
National Film Award for Best Actor and
Forbes magazine included it on its list of "25 Greatest Acting Performances in Indian Cinema".
[18] His spiritual fantasy,
Guru (1997), was the first Malayalam film submitted by India for the American
Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
[19] In 1997, he received critical praise for his first leading role in a non-Malayalam film—the
Maniratnam-directed Tamil film
Iruvar.
[20]
Vanaprastham, which was screened at the
Un Certain Regard section in the
1999 Cannes Film Festival,
[21] earned him the National Film Awards for Best Actor and Best Film (Producer).
[15]
In 2000, Mohanlal's action drama, Narasimham, became the highest-grossing Malayalam film at the time. His character [name?] has since attracted a cult following. [22] In 2001, he portrayed Karna in his theatrical debut, Karnabharam, directed by Kavalam Narayana Panicker. [23] In 2003, he earned an International Indian Film Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the Bollywood film Company. [24] His critically acclaimed portrayal of an Alzhiemers patient in Thanmathra (2005) earned him an honorary award from the Indian Medical Association. [25] The Indian Territorial Army bestowed him with the honorary rank of lieutenant colonel for his performance as Major Mahadevan in the war films Keerthi Chakra (2006) and the sequel Kurukshetra (2008). [26] In 2008, he played the lead role in Twenty:20, a landmark film which starred almost all actors in the guild of Malayalam film actors – AMMA. [27] Drishyam (2013), in which he portrayed an ordinary man, became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. [28] [29]

do you think its possible/needed that a column for director is added in the main tabale of movies acted.? Karakdict ( talk) 06:10, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
There is some disagreement over whether to use {{ TBA}} or {{ TableTBA}} in the cells for the "Role" column in the filmography tables in this article, when the role has not yet been identified.
The documentation for {{ TBA}} says:
The templates in this series are designed to be used in a table to make a cell with text in that cell, with an appropriately colored background. They are commonly used in comparison tables. Most of these templates should not be used simply to produce a background color, use them according to their meaning.
The documentation for {{ TableTBA}} says:
The purpose of the {{TableTBA}} template is to add "TBA" (or a user-defined value such as "TBD", where viewership of media is to be determined, not announced) in small, grey font into tables where the value of a certain cell (e.g. director, writer, production code, viewership numbers) is unknown, to prevent tables containing empty cells. {{TableTBA}} is recommended for use where background shading, provided by templates such as {{ TBA}} or {{ N/a}}, is not required.
I think {{ TBA}}, through the use of a bold background color, draws the reader's attention unnecessarily to information that is not known. Background shading is not required, and I am not aware of any substantial encyclopedic reason to use it in this case. It conveys no additional information, does not improve comprehension of the article subject and serves no navigational function. The bold background color is particularly jarring in the context of an otherwise plain (neutrally shaded) filmography table. Note that the shading used by {{TBA}} effectively disappears when viewing the article in "dark mode", so whatever value one might assign to its use is, effectively, unavailable in "dark mode".
So, I believe that {{ TableTBA}} is more appropriate to use in this circumstance. But I am open to discussing as I might not be considering other important perspectives that could influence my view. I invite other editors to add comments with their views (courtesy ping to @ AmNaTi200).
Btw, while this discussion is started in reference to the "Role" cell, I think that the same reasoning would apply to the "Year" cells when the year of release is unknown/uncertain. — Archer ( t· c) 21:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
