Mohanlal, popular Mollywood actor, is suffering from a high fever, breathing problems and muscle pain, according to reports in the Times of India. His condition has worried fans and the film industry, with doctors suspecting a viral respiratory infection. The hospital authorities issued an official statement. It read, “This is to certify that I have examined Mr. Mohanlal, 64 years old male, MRD No. 1198168, he is having complaints of High grade fever, Breathing difficulty and generalised myalgia. He is suspected to have viral respiratory infection. He has been advised to take medications with 5 days rest and to avoid crowded places.” Mohanlal, who just returned to Kochi, Kerala, after filming L2: Empuraan in Gujarat, has been admitted to Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences.

No sooner had the news broken than fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to wish the actor a speedy recovery. One comment read, “I think #Mohanlal will be one of the fewest senior main stream actor in india who always engaged in some or the other work almost for the entire day without rest. Hope you get well soon laletta. And take care of your health as well while running behind everything.” “Take care lalettan @Mohanlal. praying for your speedy recovery,” read another comment.

Two weeks back, the megastar, who serves as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army, visited the landslide-hit Wayanad to offer his assistance. Dressed in his army uniform, Mohanlal held a discussion with the officers before heading to the affected areas. The actor, who was honoured with the lieutenant colonel rank in the Territorial Army in 2009, demonstrated his commitment to service by offering support and solidarity during this crisis.

On the work front, Mohanlal and critically acclaimed filmmaker Sathyan Athikad are set to reunite for a film titled Hridayapoorvam. The confirmation of the film was made a few months ago. As per the latest update, it is believed that the film will go on floors soon. In this film, Mohanlal is expected to play a common man, similar to his character in the superhit film Neru.
