Mohanal reveals why he and Mammootty aren’t insecure about doing films together, unlike Bollywood stars reluctant to do ‘two-hero’ projects

He continued, “We’re in touch. Our families are in touch. Our children grew up together. We don’t have any competition. Not only with Mammooty, but with any other actor.” In a recent interview with Suhasini Maniratnam, she recalled how surprised her husband was to see Mammootty treating Mohanlal’s son like his own. “Mani once went to Mammootty’s house (then in Chennai) to narrate a story. While they were talking, a boy came near them and Mammootty picked up a stick and chased him away. When Mani asked who it was, Mammootty replied, ‘It’s Pranav, Mohanlal’s son.’ Mani was shocked to see Mammootty treating Pranav like his own son,” Suhasini shared during an interview with Mohanlal on Galatta Tamil.

Mohanlal and Mammootty are set to reunite after 16 long years in a high-profile new film tentatively titled MMMN, directed by Mahesh Narayanan and also featuring Fahadh Faasil and Nayanthara. Mohanal recently made his directorial debut, the big-budget 3D film Barroz, which has been under-performing at the box office after debuting on Christmas Day.
