Prithviraj Sukumaran on how Mammootty only makes exceptions for Mohanlal; says, ‘He breaks rules only for one person…’

For quite some time, Mohanlal and Mammootty have been influential figures in Indian cinema, particularly in Malayalam films where they are affectionately referred to as “Big M’s.” Over the years, their frequent collaborations have fostered a deep bond between them.

During a conversation on News18, Prithviraj Sukumaran shared an interesting insight: When it comes to Mammootty’s household, there are quite stringent regulations regarding behavior. He is a man who values discipline. However, it seems that these rules are more flexible when it comes to Mohanlal.

The actor mentioned, “He disregards the rules exclusively for Mohanlal sir, not even for his own kin. However, I won’t disclose what these rules entail.

Discussing the bond they share, Mohanlal was likewise questioned during an interview with News18 regarding his recent trip to Sabarimala, where this renowned actor performed a ritualistic offering in honor of his dear friend.

Mohanlal emphasized that they’ve collaborated for about 45 years, appearing in over 55 films together, sometimes taking on supporting parts. The actor underscored the deep bond between them, stating that Mammootty is not just a colleague but feels like a brother to him, with their relationship extending beyond professional ties into a strong familial connection.

During his visit to the Sabarimala temple, the actor who played in Drishyam mentioned that he recalled the Bramayugam star and even prayed for him. Yet, it was discovered that someone from the temple had seen the donation receipts, which eventually became public knowledge through news outlets.

At long last, I can’t help but marvel at the intimate bond shared by the artists in Malayalam cinema – it truly feels like a cherished family! Mohanlal, in his unique way, has highlighted this beautiful camaraderie.

On the acting front of Mohanlal, the renowned star is gearing up for a theater takeover with the upcoming movie titled L2: Empuraan. This film, helmed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, is scheduled to hit screens on March 27, 2025, and will be the second part of the Lucifer trilogy.

In the upcoming movie that serves as a follow-up to the 2019 release “Lucifer,” Mohanlal will return to his character. Alongside him, stars such as Prithviraj, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and several others are set to join the cast.

Meanwhile, Mammootty will take up the main character in the upcoming film “Bazooka”, scheduled for release on April 10, 2025.
