Arjun Manilal

That one picture i always wanted to post but didn't post as the film didn't come out. That was one hell of an opportunity to share screen with the legend like him. And i thank @sharanyaspotstalent for finding my profile. This will always a moment to cherish for lifetime. Love. @arrahman . (Wanted to go to Chennai for so long and so glad that i went there for the first time for a shoot like this) . . . #tvc #chennai #arrahman #arr #momenttocherish #moment #momenttoremember #dream #dreamdocometrue #actor #buddingactor #actorlife

To get here, it took an insane amount of hard work, blind faith, ignorance of doubts, moments of being avoided, being lost, being lifted and above all, the love of genuine friends, family, and a bit of luck. This reel is just a glimpse, the show has just begun. There’s so much more to do, and I’m just getting started. Special love to @cyril_joseph92 , who edited this reel purely out of friendship because I had no one else to turn to. We started dreaming of making films together, and here we are still dreaming, still building. He’s not just my closest friend he’s an extraordinary director, a magician of an editor, and the kind of person who gave me his own room when I first landed in Bangalore, where it all began. This one’s for every step, every stumble, and every soul who stood by. ❤️ #ActingReel #Gratitude #JourneyBegins #ActorLife #FilmmakingDreams #MalayalamCinema #moonwalkmovie #malayalam

Part - 2 is here.

Another day of better me.

Read caption for motivation 👇 We signed up for HYROX Bangalore in October/November and started training from scratch. I had never been a runner — 200m felt impossible at first. But slowly it became 500m, then 1K, 3K, 5K… and eventually 12K in one stretch within two months. Then everything changed. I injured both my knees — one with an ACL (Grade 1) and meniscus (Grade 2) tear. Multiple doctors and physios weren’t sure if I could even participate in April. Rehab began. Progress was slow. In Jan and Feb, I tried running again and again — even 100m felt impossible. Either the pain hit instantly or showed up worse the next day. Around the same time, other parts of my life were also falling apart. I was low, frustrated, and honestly… a bit lost. I took a break and went back home in March. During that time, my doubles partner @abiinashp and I discussed every option- even selling the ticket (not possible due to name restrictions). We tried switching to singles so at least he could race - that didn’t work either. At one point, we accepted it. Skip this one. Come back stronger next time. Coming back home, I was carrying a lot- guilt, frustration, and disappointment. Not just for me, but because my partner would miss out too. Then something shifted. Three weeks before race day, I tried running again. 100m… no pain. 200m… still fine. It didn’t hurt, so i kept doing again. But the bigger question remained- wall balls, sled push, burpees, farmer’s carry… with this knee? What followed were 3 weeks of pure belief, controlled training, and a mental reset. I told my partner — let’s just show up and finish. Our goal was simple: sub-2 hours. We had never achieved it in training. Our max was 6K run + 6 stations. Race day hit different. Carb loading started a few days prior, electrolytes the day before, caffeine on race morning — and a special shoutout to the honey we carried and took after the 4th station. Instant energy boost. With a target of under 2 hours, we crossed the finish line in 1:51:54 — even after accidentally running 9K instead of 8K. Six months. Highs and lows. Pain, doubt, setbacks… and one hell of a comeback. HYROX Doubles Open Finisher -1:51:54
