Mohanlal’s stylist on the viral jewellery ad: Despite being the epitome of manliness, only he has the mettle to pull off something like this |

Not just his fans, even his critics are raving about Mohanlal‘s viral jewellery ad. Widely hailed as the epitome of macho charm, Mohanlal has stunned everyone with his graceful portrayal of femininity on screen, leaving audiences thoroughly impressed. We spoke to none other than his stylist, Shanti Krishna, the creative mind behind the standout looks that have garnered so much praise for the celebrated ad.“It was a challenge for me too, to choose an outfit that wouldn’t appear overtly feminine, yet would highlight the jewellery effectively. And this was for none other than Mohanlal, who is widely regarded as the embodiment of masculinity in cinema. After a detailed discussion with Prakash sir, we settled on a collarless shirt. It was first styled under his suit, and later took center stage during the Carawan sequence,” she said.The stylist revealed that she was extremely tense, and it was Mohanlal’s reassuring words that gave her the confidence to trust her instincts and go ahead with her choices.“We’re living in a time where anything and everything is trolled, and I was really nervous. When I shared my worries with Mohanlal sir, he simply told me to treat it as a piece of art and give it my best. Those words truly lifted my spirits. And having a director like Prakash Varma also made a huge difference; it eased so much of the pressure. I’m certain the ad turned out the way it did only because of these two incredible artists,” she added.Shanti Krishna, who has been Mohanlal’s stylist for the past year and a half, shared that his charisma was unparalleled in this project.“To witness Mohanlal sir perform is always a joy, but this time it was pure magic. I’m sure only he has the mettle to pull off something like this. He was incredibly attentive to every detail, from his nails to his eye movements, he was simply magical in every frame,” the fangirl in Shanti speaks.Shanti is thrilled by all the appreciation the ad has received, but there’s one compliment in particular that truly took her to cloud nine.“After the project, Prakash sir called me and said that the final outcome exceeded his expectations. What more could I ask for? I’m truly humbled by his words and all the appreciation I’ve received. Thank you,” Shanthi concluded.
