Mohanlal’s Hridaypoorvam Shines as Sangeeth Prathap Reflects

The film Hridaypoorvam, directed by Sathyan Anthikad and featuring renowned actor Mohanlal, has debuted in theatres to enthusiastic acclaim. Alongside Mohanlal, the cast includes Sangeeth Prathap, Malavika Mohanan, Sangeetha, Siddique, and Lalu Alex. The film has quickly captured audience attention, earning rave reviews and impressive box office collections.

The narrative follows Sandeep Balakrishnan, portrayed by Mohanlal, who travels to Pune to meet the family of a colonel who donated his heart after being declared brain dead. This emotional journey forms the heart of the plot, allowing for deep character interactions and poignant moments.

Collaboration Highlights Talent and Experience

One of the film’s standout elements is the on-screen chemistry between Mohanlal and Sangeeth Prathap. The duo’s performances have been widely praised, living up to the pre-release anticipation. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Sangeeth shared insights into his experience working with Mohanlal and Sathyan Anthikad. He emphasized the significant impact of their extensive experience in the industry.

“It’s as if both Sathyan sir and Lalettan can visualise the entire film even while shooting individual scenes. I don’t say that lightly—they truly have the ability to perform with an awareness of how the scene will appear in the final edit,” Sangeeth expressed. He noted that sometimes, all Mohanlal needs is a single word or voice cue to elevate his performance.

Sangeeth elaborated on how collaborating with Sathyan Anthikad has broadened his understanding of filmmaking beyond mere acting. He mentioned that unlike his previous projects, where scenes were shot in sequence, Anthikad’s methodology involved capturing one shot at a time, often out of order. This approach challenged the actors to recall past expressions and anticipate future scenes, a process that initially posed difficulties for Sangeeth but ultimately enhanced his performance.

Sangeeth’s Rising Star Status in the Industry

Since his breakthrough in 2024 with the film Premalu, alongside Naslen, Sangeeth Prathap has emerged as a promising talent in the Malayalam film industry. His performances have resonated with audiences, marking him as a potential star in the making. Notably, Sangeeth is also an accomplished editor, showcasing his versatility in the field.

His journey continues to captivate cinephiles, as he navigates through diverse roles and projects. With the success of Hridaypoorvam, Sangeeth’s collaboration with seasoned filmmakers like Sathyan Anthikad and established actors like Mohanlal is likely to further solidify his position in the industry. As the film continues to perform well at the box office, audiences can expect to see more of Sangeeth’s engaging performances in the future.
