The Mazhavil Entertainment Awards 2023, a stage show jointly organized by Mazhavil Manorama and the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), will be telecast on August 19 and 20.

Various artists will also be honored for their contribution to the film industry.

The function will begin with a semi-classical dance fusion by Nikhila Vimal and Swasika.

Innovative skits by actors Honey Rose, Siddique, Mukesh, and Jayaram are also part of the high-profile event.

Actor and playback singer Vineeth Sreenivasan will also croon a song during the opening night.

A skit on ‘Artificial Intelligence’ featuring Mohanlal in a double role, along with Mia and Ramesh Pisharody, is the highlight of the Mazhavil Entertainment Awards on the second day. An all-women band performance by Shwetha Menon, Bhama, and Lakshmy Gopalaswamy is yet another highlight of the event.
