Pranav Mohanlal agreed to act, but upon one condition

Pranav Mohanlal, one of the most celebrated star kids of M Town is all set to make his debut in a lead role. Last year, he had committed to play the lead in director Jeethu Joseph’s action thriller. It was superstar Mohanlal who actually revealed the much awaited news and he is also producing the movie under his banner Aashirvad Cineams.

But how did Pranav agree to do a movie but after being hesitant all these years. We have heard about him turning down many top offers as he was not interested in a career in acting. Mohanlal himself revealed about how he convinced his son to do a movie.

Pranav agreed to consider cinema a career option, only upon one condition. He made it clear that he will act in one movie, and will take a serious decision only after it’s outcome. So, apparently the outcome of Jeethu’s movie will decide whether Pranav will sign more projects in the future.

Mohanlal had earlier said, “Lot of filmmakers, even from Tamil film industry, approached him with scripts. Many ad films were also offered. He told me that he’ll act in Jeethu Joseph’s movie. He feels comfortable working with him as he has already assisted Jeethu in two movies.

The director had revealed that his movie with Pranav will be an action thriller on the lines of his superhit movie Memories. The star kid recently underwent training in Parkour, a kind of physical training in jumping, running and climbing high rise walls to play his part in the movie perfectly.
