With 2 million followers, Mohanlal is now the most followed Malayali actor in Twitter
Mohanlal is undoubtedly one of the most popular and influential Malayalis in the world. He has been the reigning superstar of Malayalam film industry for over three decades now apart from being a recipient of multiple national awards. Naturally, Mohanlal is also the most followed actor in the Twitter world.
Mohanlal’s Twitter followers count has now crossed two million, which is the highest for any actor from Malayalam cinema industry. Mammootty has over 7 lakh followers while his son Dulquer Salmaan has over 6.5 lakh followers.
In August 2016, Mohanlal became the first Malayali actor to cross one million followers. It must be noted that another one million users have followed him in less than an year, which is nothing but phenomenal.
Recently, it was announced that Mohanlal would be playing the lead role in the 1000 crore project Mahabaratha. Following this announcement, self proclaimed film critic Kamal R Khan aka KRK had unleashed an attack on Mohanlal with a series of derogatory trolls against the superstar.
Mohanlal fans came hard at KRK in the Twitter space forcing him to apologize and take down the tweets. This had made Mohanlal quite popular in the social media space. Also, the blockbuster success of his films like Pulimurugan and Janatha Garage has increased his popularity outside Kerala. No wonder that the man who is the first entrant to the 50 cr and 100 cr club of Mollywood, has also become the most followed Malayali actor in Twitter.
