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.
