We
all
know
that
Malayalam
superstar
Mohanlal
is
concentrating
more
on
business
than
on
movies
nowadays.
Recently,
he
widened
his
business
horizons
in
the
state
and
has
successfully
established
his
presence
in
almost
all
business
fields
like
seafood,
curry
powder,
hospitality,
movie
production,
studios
and
multiplex
construction.
Does
it
mean
that
Mohanlal
is
slowly
retiring
from
movies?
According
to
sources,
Mohanlal,
who
recently
celebrated
30
years
in
Malayalam
films,
is
gradually
switching
from
movies
to
business.
He
has
entered
into
stock
market,
film
distribution
and
real
estate
business.
Mohanlal
launched
a
stock
broking
company
called
Hedge
Equities
in
Kochi,
in
association
with
Fedex
Securities,
Kozhikode-based
Baby
Marine
Exports,
Smart
Financial,
Thakker
Group
and
SM
Hegde
of
Videocon.
This
is
the
first
time
he
has
stepped
into
investment
and
real
estate
business.
And
after
a
gap
of
more
than
eight
years,
Mohanlal
is
back
to
film
distribution.
In
association
with
producer
Antony
Perumbavoor,
Industrialist
K.C.
Babu
and
Asianet
chief
K.
Madhavan,
he
has
launched
a
film
distribution
company,
Max
Lab
Entertainments,
to
establish
a
multiplex
chain
throughout
Kerala.
Max
Lab
will
focus
on
film
distribution,
production
and
running
multiplexes
and
shopping
malls
in
the
state.
The
first
venture
of
Max
Lab
Entertainments
will
be
Sagar
Alias
Jackie,
directed
by
Amal
Neerad
of
Big
B
fame.
The
company
has
also
acquired
the
rights
of
another
new
project
in
the
pipeline,
a
movie
jointly
produced
by
Thara
Arts
and
Aashirwad,
which
is
entirely
shot
in
America.
Mohanlal
is
currently
the
brand
ambassador
of
Oceanus
Builders,
Malabar
Gold
and
Kozhikode-based
jewellers
which
has
many
branches
in
and
outside
Kerala.
Besides,
he
fully
owns
Travancore
Court,
a
three
star
hotel
located
at
Warriam
Road
in
South
Junction
in
Kochi.
He
also
runs
a
chain
of
restaurants
in
the
Middle
East.
Sources
said
that
the
actor
is
also
planning
to
launch
a
few
schools
shortly.
So
Mohanlal
sure
is
a
big
businessman
today.
