Vismaya Mohanlal is releasing a collection of poems titled Grains of Stardust on Valentine's Day: Malayalam actor Mohanlal’s daughter Vismaya is about to make her debut as an author, with the soon to be released poetry book titled Grains of Stardust. Proud father Mohanlal announced the news on social media where he shared a glimpse of the book which is set to hit the stands on February 14.
The 60-year-old actor took to Twitter to express gratitude for the “love and support” the book has received.
“I'm glad to see that my daughter Vismaya's book is already a #bestseller. Thank you for your love and support. Please share your thoughts when you have the book. From tomorrow the 14th of February, books will be available in book stores all across India!” he wrote in the tweet.
Previously, the Lucifer actor shared a pre-order link of Grains of Stardust in a Facebook post. The actor has also penned the foreword of the poetry collection.
“It’s a proud moment for me as a father to announce the release of my daughter’s book ‘GRAINS OF STARDUST’ on the 14th of February. A book of poetry and art published by Penguin India. Wishing her all the best in this endeavour,” the actor wrote in his Facebook post.
The book, offering "a unique expression of thought reflecting feeling more than meaning, Grains of Stardust is a synesthetic stream of consciousness that does not distinguish between journey and destination, but meanders unchecked upon the river of human emotion.”

Vismaya also made an announcement about her debut poetry book in an Instagram post, revealing that “Grains of Stardust came together unexpectedly”.
“They are poems or thoughts that I wrote at various phases of my life. They were sometimes typed out on my phone whilst waiting for the subway or while I was listening to a beat that I liked, or words that came to me when I was looking at a painting or at nature. Whilst living in Nyc, I had made a little book with some writing and drawings and I left it somewhere in Central Park for someone to pick up. I still wonder who would have found it. But I just love that idea, that a book or a little piece of art can find you. And that was my plan for this book too :) but then I thought, what if I were to publish it? And here we are. An artsy book that is both philosophical and sappy, with some sparkles sprinkled on top : ) Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did putting it together,” she wrote in the post.
Earlier in an interview with PTI, Vismaya Mohanlal spoke about the creation of her forthcoming book. “I didn’t sit down with the intention to write a poetry book. As you’ll see when you read them, they are very simply written. They are poems that I sometimes typed out on my phone waiting for the subway or while I was listening to a beat that I liked, or words that came to me when I was looking at a painting or at nature,” she said.
Meanwhile, Mohanlal will be seen in Drishyam 2, which will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on February 19.
