10 Most Searched Malayalam Stars On Google

2 Nov 15 @ 10:27 AM

The most searched Malayalam celebrity on Google, apparently is not one of the ‘Superstars’ of the industry. Instead, it is someone who hasn't acted in a single film in that period. Of the top 10 Malayalam actors searched on Google, six of them are actresses including debutant Sai Pallavi of ‘Premam’. Some of the stars didn’t have many or in some cases a single release in the year. The reasons for the popularity include TV premiers of their hits, consistent fan following and in some cases marriages and break ups. The list considers the average monthly searches during the period from October 2014 to September 2015. Read on to know the most searched film stars of Mollywood on Google.

Nazriya Nazim

This comes as no surprise as when Nazriya started her official Facebook page, she had toppled the record of Mammootty and Mohanlal, becoming the most liked Malayalam star on the social network. Nazriya has an average of 165,000 searches. The feat is surprising because she hardly had any film releases in this period. She even quit acting in August 2014, getting married to actor Fahadh Faasil. She made news when she bagged the Kerala State Award for Best Actress for her performance in ‘Ohm Shanthi Oshana’ (2014). Her feat received mixed response from critics and audiences.

Mohanlal

Superstar Mohanlal is at the second spot earning an average of 135,000 searches. The actor had four films released in this period including ‘Rasam’, ‘Ennum Eppozhum’, ‘Lailaa O Lailla’, ‘Loham’ and the most recent being ‘Kanal’. One of the many reasons for Mohanlal being in the news is his music band, Lalisom. In January 2015, ‘Lalisom’ garnered 49,970 searches largely owing to the mixed response it got from their performance in 2015 National Games opening ceremony at Trivandrum.

Mohanlal
Kavya Madhavan

Kavya Madhavan is at the third spot earning an average of 135,000 searches per month. The actress had no releases in the period considered, but still managed to secure the fourth spot. The actress launched her fashion label, ‘Laksyah’ during this period and was in the news for starring in ‘Akashvani’ opposite Vijay Babu. The film is yet to release.

Mammootty

Mammootty is at the fourth spot with an average search of 110,000. The actor had seven releases in the past year. September 2014 saw Mammootty coming back as the box-office gold through ‘Rajadhi Raja’. The hit streak followed with ‘Bhaskar the Rascal’ directed by Siddique. The next two releases also proved to be commercially successful, namely – ‘Utopiyayile Rajavu’ and ‘Pathemari’. The actor has an average of 110,000 searches per month.

Mammootty
Nivin Pauly

Nivin Pauly shares the fourth spot with Mammootty and Amala Paul. The self-made actor made some trending movies at the beginning of 2014. The success of ‘Bangalore Days’ and ‘Oru Vadakkan Selfie’ helped him to stay in the news. The actor’s biggest film and turning point of his career though, came through ‘Premam’. The stupendous hit of the Alphonse Puthren directorial catapulted him into superstardom and become one of the highest paid actors in Malayalam.

Nivin Pauly
Amala Paul

The ‘Thalaivaa’ actress shares the fourth spot with Mammootty and Nivin Pauly being the most searched Malayalam star. Amala Paul has the extra benefit of being a pan-south-Indian actress. She had only two Malayalam release in the year, ‘Mili’ by Rajesh Raman Pilliai and Joshiy’s ‘Lailaa O Lailaa’. She had one Telugu release also, Samuthirakani’s ‘Janda Pai Kapiraju’. Amala got married to director AL Vijay early in 2015, which also is another factor of her being in this list.
