During an interview with Kaumudy Movies, Mohanlal discussed his experiences collaborating with young filmmakers and expressed gratitude for being an actor who has been fortunate enough to work with some exceptionally talented directors.

The Malayalam superstar made a point that actors have to be extremely blessed to be able to work with talented writers and directors. He gave several films from his career as examples, such as Vanaprastham. "Young filmmakers must write scripts on their own," he continued.

Mohanlal on being 'approachable' to young directors

The Neru star stressed that he is supportive and approachable to aspiring filmmakers. However, he continued, the scripts should not draw inspiration from his earlier films. "Should one deviate from this kind of influence, I would unquestionably work on it. Take the movie on which I am currently collaborating with Tharun Moorthy. It is a distinctive tale that took eight years to come to life," he remarked.

For his next 360th Malayalam film, Mohanlal is collaborating with Tharun Moorthy of Operation Java and Saudi Vellakka fame. It is said that the much anticipated project, which is being billed as a family drama, is expected to release by the end of this year.

Mohanlal on plans to work on Varshangalkku Shesham

In response to a question concerning his connection with actor Sreenivasan, Mohanlal stated that they still share a cordial bond. He revealed that in his most recent directorial, Varshangalkku Shesham, Vineeth Sreenivasan had intended to bring them back. "Me and Sreenivasan were supposed to play the older versions of Murali Viswambaran and Venu Koothuparambu (played by Pranav Mohanlal and Dhyan Sreenivasan respectively)," he claimed. Unfortunately, Sreenivasan's health condition altered the plans.

Mohanlal stated that he has been in frequent communication with Sreenivasan, and their families have shared a close bond for a long period of time. Varshangalkku Shesham, which released in April, is streaming on Sony LIV in multiple languages. The movie can also be watched on OTTplay Premium.
