Pranav Mohanlal (born 13 July 1990) is an Indian actor and playback singer who works in Malayalam cinema. The son of actor Mohanlal, he made his debut as a child actor with a minor role in Onnaman (2002), followed by a leading role in Punarjani, for which he won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Child Artist (2003).
Pranav then left to pursue studies, distancing himself from cinema while developing an interest in travelling and books. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the University of New South Wales.
Pranav returned to films in 2015 as an assistant director to Jeethu Joseph and worked in two films—Papanasam and Life of Josutty. He starred in the leading role in the 2018 film Aadhi, directed by Jeethu, which emerged as one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year. He won the SIIMA Award for Best Debut Actor for the role. He also debuted as a singer-songwriter for the film by writing, singing and performing the song "Gypsy Women". He later worked in Hridayam (2022), which was both a critical and commercial success.
