I like Pranav Mohanlal’s innocence: Mammootty

Pranav Mohanlal is all set to make his debut in a lead role this year with Jeethu Joseph’s upcoming movie. But even before making his entry to the industry, Pranav has many admirers. His simplicity, despite being the son of such a big superstar, has made him hugely popular among the youngsters. Pranav, unlike the other celebrity kids, is shy of the limelight and likes to be in his own space.

Mammootty is one such admirer of Pranav. In a recent interview, the megastar opened up about the acting plans of Pranav and more. He said, “Pranav is just like my son Dulquer. He has a very peculiar character and is very different from the other kids of his age. I like his innocence very much. He should have entered the film industry much earlier but it could not happen due to many other reasons. Pranav will surely be able to mark his place in the industry.”

Pranav is right now prepping up to make his debut as a lead actor. The 26-year-old is venturing into acting after assisting Jeethu Joseph in two films. The director had earlier informed that his film with Pranav will be an action thriller on the lines of his superhit movie Memories. The superstar’s son trained in Parkour for playing his part in the film. Parkour is a form of acrobatic physical training that involves crossing obstacles by running, climbing, jumping, rolling and swinging.

There are reports that the movie will be shot outside Kerala on a budget of Rs 10 crores. An official statement regarding when the movie will go on floors is still awaited. Mohanlal’s own production house Aashirvad Cinemas is producing this yet to be titled movie.
