Working non-stop is not a new thing, says Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, who once completed 36 films in a year and remains driven by his passion for storytelling.

In a career spanning more than 45 years, Mohanlal has starred in over 360 films across different industries. He started his stint in movies with the role of an antagonist in Fazil's Manjil Virinja Pookkal (1980) and then featured in critically acclaimed movies like Manichitrathazhu, Vanaprastham, Kireedam, Bharatham, Iruvar, and Drishyam.

"My passion towards my profession is a fuel for me. You should love your profession. So every day is a beautiful day for me. And I have had the chance of working with great actors and directors. I have evolved from their blessing. I am dedicated to my profession. I am a performer, and that creativity is a fuel for my journey," the actor told PTI.
