Inside Drishyam 3 Actor Mohanlal's Multi-crore Empire: From A Duplex In Kochi To The Burj Khalifa Apartment

There

is a Lambretta scooter parked at the entrance of his duplex flat in Kochi. It is the same scooter Mohanlal rode in Ittymaani: Made in China, and its number plate reads 2255 - a nod to his iconic line from Rajavinte Makan. That detail tells you everything about how this actor thinks about his homes. They are not just addresses. They are chapters of a life lived very publicly, decorated with many such tokens of a career that has spanned over four decades and 400 films.

Mohanlal, who is one of Kerala's most celebrated actor and recipient of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, owns multiple premium homes across India and Dubai. The portfolio stretches from a waterfront bungalow in Kochi to a one-bedroom flat on the 29th floor of the world's tallest building. This is a spread that reflects both deep roots in Kerala and a calculated eye for international real estate.Also Read: Inside Ranbir Kapoor's Dream Homes Worth Rs 300 Crore: The Kapoor Legacy Rebuilt In Luxury

Home Base In Thevara, Kochi

The actor's primary residence happens to be a waterfront bungalow in Thevara, Kochi, a quiet locale which is about 2.5 km from the commercial centre of the city. Designed by renowned architect Sohan Roy, the mansion spans over 17,000 square feet and blends modern aesthetics with traditional Kerala design. For years, this has been the family home - the place Mohanlal returns to between schedules, endorsements, and overseas commitments.

The Kochi Duplex: 9,000 Sq Ft of Film Memorabilia and Marble

Mohanlal purchased flats on the 15th and 16th floors of Identity Towers at Kundannur in Kochi and merged them into a single duplex spanning 9,000 sqft. The ground floor features a guest living room, dining area, pooja room, pantry kitchen, and working kitchen. There are a total of four bedrooms, a make-up room, and a staff room. The scooter at the entrance is the centrepiece of a flat that doubles as a personal museum of Mohanlal's career. It is part home, part archive.

Natural light does most of the work here. Custom lighting, contemporary furniture, and carefully curated accessories lend the apartment a quiet confidence. The design reflects joint planning with his wife, Suchitra, whose approach prioritises comfort and function over visual drama.

The Ooty Hideaway: Rs 35,000 a Night in the Nilgiris

Mohanlal's villa in Ooty, named Hideaway, served as the family's private retreat for nearly a decade. It is a three-bedroom colonial bungalow with a personal chef and concierge, now listed for short stays. Located in Lovedale, a quiet neighbourhood about 15 minutes from Ooty town, the villa starts from Rs 35,000 plus tax per night.

The property features a family room with 300 Mohanlal caricatures, a gun house with replica firearms from Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea and Barroz 3D, and a garden where guests can barbecue. All three bedrooms belong to Mohanlal's family. A cook who has worked with the family for over 25 years prepares traditional Keralan dishes for guests. It is the most personal of all his properties - and now, the most publicly accessible.

Houses In Dubai

Mohanlal owns a one-bedroom luxury apartment in the Burj Khalifa on the 29th floor, measuring 940 square feet, registered in his wife Suchitra's name. The flat offers a direct view of the Dubai Fountain and is estimated at around Rs 28 crore. He also owns a larger apartment, which is approximately 4,000 square feet, on the 45th floor of a building in Downtown Dubai, near the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, with amenities including a private infinity pool, gym, pools, and courtyards. This second Dubai apartment, in PR Heights Residence, was bought in 2020 in a 51-storey building, and is reportedly valued upward of Rs 25 crore.

His properties, spread across at least five locations across two countries, are less a show of excess and more a map of a career that has never stayed still - from Thevara to Lovedale to Downtown Dubai, each address earned one film at a time.
