Prithviraj Sukumaran recently thrilled fans with the release of the teaser for ‘L2: Empuraan’, his directorial project starring Mohanlal. In an interview, the actor-director shared his thoughts on the praise he received from legendary actors
Mohanlal and
Mammootty during the film's teaser launch event.
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Prithviraj expressed his gratitude for both Mammootty and Mohanlal: “I feel blessed. I consider it a blessing. Even when ‘Lucifer’ was released, it was Mammootty who launched the teaser through his social media accounts. Not just me, I think the whole industry is privileged to have these two stalwarts still setting the standards for all of us and pushing their boundaries.”
He further expressed the privilege of having iconic actors like Mohanlal and Mammootty as role models in the industry. He emphasised that they have set high standards for aspiring actors, providing a benchmark to aim for in terms of both performance and the diverse roles they’ve portrayed throughout their careers.
