Veteran actors, including Mohanlal and Mammootty, often play young characters in Malayalam films—a well-accepted practice. But 27-year-old Anjali Aneesh Upasana, who has won the state award, has reversed the trend by taking on roles of older characters.

Some of these actors whom she has played mother to are old enough to be her father themselves. Anjali will be seen playing Dulquar Salmaan’s mother in the upcoming project Kammattipaadam and Mohanlal’s mother in Pulimurugan.

Anjali was a well-known television and media personality before she made her mark as an actor. She made her debut in the film Seniors after she was offered a minor role. She is now an established actress in the Malayalam and Tamil film industries with over 42 films to her credit.
