Legend meets legend — and in the most touching way possible. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan took to his X (formerly Twitter) profile to congratulate his long-time friend and celebrated actor Mohanlal on being named the recipient of the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award, India’s highest cinematic honour.
What made the tribute even more special? Big B wrote his message in Malayalam, a language deeply rooted in Mohanlal’s cinematic legacy. The rough translation of the post reads: "Mohanlal Ji, I am very happy and feel proud that you have received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award – a recognition most truly deserved! Many congratulations. I am a big fan of your work and craftsmanship. The simplicity with which you portray complex emotions is truly remarkable. May you continue to bless us with your unbeatable talent and remain an inspiration to all of us. With immense respect and pride, I will always remain your dedicated fan. Namaskar."
The warmth and sincerity in Bachchan’s message struck a chord with fans across languages and industries, further reinforcing the mutual respect between two of Indian cinema’s greatest icons. It’s not just a congratulatory note — it’s a love letter from one cinematic giant to another.
Mohanlal will officially receive the Dadasaheb Phalke Award at the 71st National Film Awards ceremony, scheduled for September 23, in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to Indian cinema, spanning over four decades and more than 340 films.
As celebrations pour in from across the country and beyond, Bachchan’s tribute stands tall — a reminder that great artists not only earn awards but also the admiration of their peers.
