7 Highly Successful Film Families In Malayalam

10 Mar 16 @ 11:05 AM

Unlike Hindi or Telugu movie industries, Malayalam doesn’t have family dynasties which controls chunks of the industry. While in many industries nepotism is a common trait, in Malayalam it is comparatively lesser. It is mainly due to many factors including the film literacy of the audience and of course – the fate and talent of the actor. If it were otherwise, Prem Nazir’s son, Shanavas should have become a huge star, considering his dad’s incredible fan following. Here is a list of film families of famous actors, directors and writers in Malayalam. The list includes artists related by marriage, cousins etc.

Fazil Family

Acclaimed director Fazil must be proud of his children. The ‘Manichithrathazhu’ director’s sons are established actors. Fazil launched his elder son, Fahadh Faasil through ‘Kaiyethum Doorath’ in 2002 but the film caused the tanking of his career. Fahadh, who took a sabbatical from films, came back with a bang – establishing himself as one of the finest actors we have today in Malayalam. His brother, Farhaan Faasil is also an actor and made his debut with the Rajeev Ravi drama, ‘Njaan Steve Lopez’. One more addition to this list is actress Nazriya Nazim, who is married to Fahadh Faasil.

Mammootty Family

Megastar Mammootty’s life story is an inspiration to all actors. He rose to stardom with hard work and perseverance. His son, Dulquer Salmaan is also an actor and has followed his dad’s footsteps in his career. He made his debut in a low budget movie directed by a debutant – ‘Second Show’. Mammootty’s brother, Ibrahim Kutty and his son, Maqbool Salmaan are also actors.

Sukumaran Family

Sukumaran, the man who was touted as one of the top contenders for being the ‘next Jayan’ along with Mammootty and Ratheesh, left this world too early in 1997. As what they call as destiny, his two sons – Prithviraj Sukumaran and Indrajith Sukumaran are two of the most celebrated artists in Malayalam today. Both the brothers made their debut in 2002 and went on to establish themselves are fine actors and stars of incredible fan following.

The quintessential ‘chocolate boy’ of Malayalam, Kunchacko Boban has a rich heritage to claim. His grandfather, Kunchacko, started one of the greatest movie studios in Malayalam – Udaya, in the 40’s. The studio was alter managed by his son and actor, Boban Kunchacko. Kunchacko Boban is also related to Navodaya Appachan, who founded the famous Navodaya Studio, Jijo Appachan, who directed blockbusters like ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ and ‘Padayottam’.

80’s hot stars Radha and Ambika are sisters. While Ambika is most famous in Malayalam for films like ‘Rajavinte Makan’ and ‘Neelathamara’, Radha shot to fame through her Tamil flicks like ‘Jallikattu’, ‘Rajadhi Raja’.
