Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal Hospitalized in Kochi

Veteran actor Mohanlal has been hospitalized in Kochi after experiencing symptoms such as high fever, breathing difficulties, and muscle pain. According to an official medical statement, doctors suspect that the 64-year-old actor is suffering from a viral respiratory infection.

Mohanlal has been advised to limit public interactions for the next five days and to follow a strict medication regimen. The hospital’s official statement regarding his condition was shared by industry insider Sreedhar Pillai.
