I haven\u2019t made any such decision at all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the unique on-screen pairing of her father Jayaram and brother Kalidas, Malavika smiled, noting that no special performance would be required\u2014they already share a natural chemistry:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they come together, they don\u2019t need to act pretentiously. At home, they are just like that. They\u2019re a wonderful combination. The same feeling I had watching them 25 years ago will be present in this film, for sure. They\u2019re both completely different individuals, and each has his own approach to acting,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Malavika appeared at the event alongside her husband, Navaneeth, a chartered accountant hailing from Palakkad and now based in the UK. The couple got married in May of the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our NewsletterGet Latest Mathrubhumi Updates in English<a class=\"bg-[#128C7E] rounded-[10px] px-[10px] py-2 text-[14px] font-medium leading-4 whitespace-nowrap  h-[30px]\" type=\"button\" aria-labelledby=\"Follow on Whatsapp\" title=\"Follow on Whatsapp\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-font text-primary\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Disclaimer: Kindly avoid objectionable, derogatory, unlawful and lewd comments, while responding to reports.
