* Mohanlal was an amateur wrestler. He was due to go for the National championship in Delhi, when he was called to audition for the role Narendran in Manjil Virinja Pookkal by Navodaya. His friends had sent his photographs to Navodya productions, and the company was looking for fresh actors.

* Mohanlal's personal Assistant and Producer Antony Perumbaavoor was a taxi driver in Eranakulam and used to take Mohanlal from his hotel to the filming location of the movie Pattanapravesam. What started a good friendship ended with Mohanlal offering Antony the position of a personal driver. Antony has since been with Mohanlal and now produces films under the banner Aasirvaad Productions. His first movie (Narasimham)was a major hit.
