Mohanlal isn’t just ruling the box office with Drishyam 3—he’s also ruling his half-acre organic farm in Kerala. The veteran actor, known for his love of nature, has turned a patch of land near his Elamakkara residence into a lush green paradise. And honestly? We’re taking serious notes.
A Passion That Started Years Ago
While many noticed Mohanlal’s farming spree during the lockdown, his love for agriculture actually took root much earlier. According to sources, he started growing vegetables on his property back in the mid-2010s. But it was during 2020 and 2021 that the Lucifer actor truly went all in, expanding his green space and turning it into a full-fledged organic farm. The half-acre plot now boasts a variety of crops, all grown without chemicals. It’s safe to say that Mohanlal has found his zen away from the cameras.
A Mini Jungle of Organic Goodness
Wondering what’s growing in Mohanlal’s garden? The list is impressive. Reports suggest his farm produces bitter gourd, beans, ladyfinger, tomatoes, green chilies, ash gourd, pumpkin, corn, and even tapioca. And it’s not just for show—the actor reportedly uses the fresh harvest for his daily meals whenever he’s at home. The emphasis on natural farming has caught the attention of many, including former Kerala Agriculture Minister VS Sunil Kumar, who praised the initiative for promoting chemical-free agriculture. If that’s not farm-to-table goals, we don’t know what is.
Inspiring Fans and Riding High on Drishyam 3
Mohanlal isn’t keeping this green revolution to himself. In an Instagram video, he gave fans a tour of his garden, walking through rows of crops and even plucking vegetables. He encouraged everyone to start growing food at home, saying, “All of us can grow vegetables. You can also grow them in your terrace in small carry bags.” With that kind of motivation, we’re already planning our balcony garden. Meanwhile, the actor is enjoying massive box office success with Drishyam 3. The Jeethu Joseph-directed thriller has earned Rs 96.70 crore net in India, with a gross collection of Rs 112.20 crore. Not bad for a man who can balance blockbusters and bitter gourd with equal flair!
