Monalisa Bhosle pairs opposite Kailash in debut film
Monalisa Bhosle, the young social media sensation who rose to fame during the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, is now making her much-awaited debut in Malayalam cinema. The teenager from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, became an overnight internet star earlier this year after her photos and videos went viral, with people lovingly nicknaming her “Monalisa.” Now, the rising starlet is set to turn her popularity into a promising acting career as she begins shooting for her first Malayalam film, Nagamma.
Monalisa Bhosle begins new journey in Mollywood
The launch of Nagamma was recently held with a traditional pooja ceremony in Kochi, where Monalisa Bhosle herself shared glimpses on social media. The event saw the presence of several well-known names in the industry, including acclaimed filmmaker Sibi Malayil, who has directed evergreen classics like Kireedam, Bharatham, and Dasharatham.
Directed by P Binu Varghese and produced by Jeeli George, Nagamma will see Monalisa Bhosle star alongside actor Kailash, who is fondly remembered for his powerful role in Neelathamara (2009). The project marks director Binu Varghese’s return after Himuchri, which featured veteran actor Shankar in the lead. The filming of Nagamma is expected to begin by the end of September.
From Mahakumbh fame to cinema screens
Monalisa Bhosle’s journey into the spotlight began earlier this year at the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, where she was seen selling garlands. Her natural charm, striking looks, and simple presence caught the attention of visitors, who began clicking her photos and sharing them online. Within days, Monalisa became a household name on social media, with lakhs of netizens following updates about her.
While her sudden fame sparked debates about whether the attention was objectification of a teenager, it also opened doors for her to step into modeling, endorsements, and now, cinema. She has since received invitations for events across India, including Kerala, where she already enjoys a large fan following.
Kerala welcomes Monalisa Bhosle warmly
Back in February, Monalisa Bhosle visited Kerala for the inauguration of a Chemmanur Jewellers showroom in Kozhikode. The event drew a massive crowd, with people eager to see her in person. Arriving in a vehicle belonging to businessman Boby Chemmanur, she surprised the audience by joining him in a lively dance performance during the ceremony.
This warm reception in Kerala gave her a taste of the state’s love for cinema and celebrities. It is no surprise, then, that she chose Malayalam cinema as the platform for her film debut.
Nagamma promises a fresh pairing
The casting of Monalisa Bhosle opposite Kailash has already created buzz among film enthusiasts. Kailash, who earned praise for his emotional portrayal in Neelathamara, is expected to bring depth and intensity to Nagamma. On the other hand, Monalisa, despite being a newcomer, is anticipated to charm audiences with her screen presence, just as she won over millions online.
According to industry insiders, Nagamma will be a drama with strong emotional layers, drawing inspiration from folklore and rooted in Kerala’s cultural backdrop. While details of Monalisa’s character remain under wraps, her debut is being positioned as one of the most exciting introductions in Malayalam cinema this year.
