Actor Mohanlal Spotted With Royal Enfield With 3433 Number Plate: What Is Going On?
Actor Mohanlal has a huge fanbase in South India, thanks to the countless epic movies he has done in his prime. He is considered an icon among the people of Kerala. Recently, we saw Mohanlal with a Royal Enfield Bullet 350 that wears the numberplate 'KL-11-3433'. Fans soon got excited, as the number stands special for Mohanlal.
'Pingami' is one of the most iconic movies of Mohanlal. The 1994 action thriller had Mohanlal play 'Captain Vijay'- the protagonist who rode a Royal Enfield Bullet with the number 'KL-11-3433'. The movie was received well, and the actor received massive appreciation for the character he played. The bullet that starred alongside garnered equal fan following.
Royal Enfields are often considered vehicles of men who are effortlessly stylish and cool. Their appearances in movies such as this have helped a lot in the same. A bullet with '3433' number soon became a trend among the Malayali youth. Now, more than three decades later, this iconic image- of 'a Bullet with 3433 number' has been recreated.
A closer look revealed that the motorcycle here is the new Bullet 350, underpinned by the J-platform and powered by the J-series engine that's found on the Classic 350 and Meteor 350. Fans soon wondered- 'Did Mohanlal buy the new Bullet? Did he get the iconic number plate for it?'
What Really Happened Here? Did He Buy It?
The terror attacks in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, created widespread fear and panic among citizens and visiting tourists about their safety in Kashmir. Tourism almost came to a standstill.
The Indian forces retaliated to these the right way. Declaring full solidarity with the nation, a group of young civilians took to the roads and did a Kerala-to-Kashmir ride, meant to instil confidence and reassurance in fellow civilians about visiting the place. The event was called 'Chalo LOC' and was endorsed and promoted by many influencers and celebrities.
Over 100 passionate bikers (read 'Royal Enfield owners') from Kerala, took part in this. The convoy began its journey from Kochi's Kalady. This place is famous for being the birthplace of Adi Shankara. The participants rode to the Line of Control (LOC) in Kashmir, covering 12+ cities, over 12 days. More than 3,600 kilometres were munched in this span, spread across India's diverse landscapes. The journey culminated in Sharadha Yatra Kshetra at Teetwal.
Mohanlal was one of the celebs to endorse 'Chalo LOC'. Boosting the morales of these riders, he even met them in person, at an event. In addition to being an iconic movie star, he also holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in India's Territorial Army.
This video of the actor with the 3433 Bullet seems to be from the event. Royal Enfield showcased the new Bullet 350 at the event. Looks like they presented the number plate to the actor as a nod to the iconic movie, and for a photo opportunity. The crowd who was present enjoyed the soulful moment.
The video also shows movie producer Antony Perumbavoor accompanying the actor. The rumour has it that Antony used to own the original 3433 Bullet which was used in 'Pingami' movie. It is also said that the same motorcycle was used in the 2007 action/drama Ali Bhai and the 2011 family drama Snehaveedu.
In short, unlike what rumours suggest, Mohanlal hasn't bought the new Royal Enfield Bullet 350 with the registration number 3433, atleast not in the context of the video that's now circulating online.
