The young woman who once became an internet sensation as the ' Kumbh Mela beauty' is now stepping into Malayalam cinema. According to a report in Manorama Online, Monalisa has signed her first Malayalam film, titled Nagamma, where she will star opposite actor Kailash. The formal pooja ceremony for the project was recently conducted in Kochi, symbolizing the beginning of an inspiring transformation from a modest life to a promising film career.
Debut with Established Names
Nagamma will be directed by P. Binu Varghese, marking his next directorial effort after Himuchri, which featured veteran actor Shankar. Monalisa’s presence in the film is expected to bring freshness, while Kailash’s seasoned experience adds balance to the project. The launch event was attended by celebrated filmmaker Sibi Malayil, who blessed the occasion. Monalisa, dressed in a pastel pink lehenga, stood out for her natural elegance and confidence, winning admiration from those present. As mentioned by On Manorama, filming is set to commence by the end of September.
Kailash is best known for the 2009 romantic movie 'Neelathamara.'
From Kumbh Mela to Stardom
Monalisa Bhosle hails from Uttar Pradesh and came into the spotlight by sheer chance. During the Maha Kumbh, photographers noticed her while she was selling flowers by the river. Her simple charm and striking presence captured hearts instantly. Once her photos and short videos surfaced on social media, they went viral within hours, garnering massive views and shares. This unexpected fame altered her life completely. Encouraged by the response and urged by her father to step away from her earlier work, she soon found herself receiving opportunities in entertainment.
Expanding Horizons
Her entry into the creative industry began with an offer from Bollywood director Sanoj Mishra for The Diary of Manipur. More recently, she appeared in the music video Saadgi, where she was paired with singer Utkarsh Singh. Now, with Nagamma, Monalisa is entering the Malayalam film industry with aspirations to build a lasting career. Her co-star Kailash, already acclaimed for his role in Neelathamara, adds to the anticipation surrounding the film. For Monalisa, this debut is more than just a movie role—it marks the beginning of a larger dream taking shape.
Bollywood Dreams In Jeopardy?
According to Rediff.com, Monalisa's Bollywood debut film became embroiled in a controversy before its release. Director Sanoj Mishra has filed a formal complaint against five individuals, including the owner of a YouTube channel, accusing them of orchestrating a smear campaign aimed at discrediting both him and the film. In February, Mishra lodged the complaint at Mumbai’s Amboli police station. The FIR outlines that the accused have allegedly made damaging statements, including false claims that none of Mishra’s earlier films have been released. One of them allegedly threatened to sabotage Monalisa’s budding career. Other allegations target the production’s budget and raise questions about the film's overall execution.
