Vishak Nair

Vishak Nair—yeah, that guy—he’s been making waves in the Indian film scene, especially down south in Malayalam cinema. He kicked things off with “Aanandam” back in 2016, and honestly, after that, his face was pretty much everywhere in Kerala. People loved him. After “Aanandam,” Vishak just kept popping up in film after film—“Chunkzz,” “Puthen Panam,” “Matchbox,” “Chembarathipoo,” and “Aana Alaralodalaral”—all in 2017. Busy year, right? Each role, he brought something different, not just sticking to one vibe or character type. He didn’t stop there, either. In 2019, you’d spot him in “Lonappante Mamodeesa” and “Kuttymama.” Then came “Thimiram” in 2021. He even jumped into web series with “Kili,” which people seemed to dig. Fast forward a bit—he finally breaks into Bollywood with “Shabaash Mithu” in 2022. Got a supporting role with Taapsee Pannu. Not the main guy, but still, Bollywood’s Bollywood. You’ll catch him in blink-and-miss cameos too—like “Hridayam” (where he doubled as casting director, multitasking king), “Wonder Women,” and “Dear Friend.” And, oh, he’s not slowing down. He’s set to play Sanjay Gandhi in Kangana Ranaut’s much-hyped “Emergency.” There’s also “Tejas” coming up, which is another Hindi project. Back home, he’s stacking up Malayalam films—“Footage,” “Exit,” and “LLB” are all in the works. Vishak’s career? Just getting started, man.
