Pranav can't be a successful actor just because he's my son: Mohanlal

Pranav and Mohanlal

Pranav Mohanlal, the son of Mollywood's complete actor Mohanlal, is all set to make his debut in a lead role. Even as people are looking forward for the release of the movie, Mohanlal has his fingers crossed.

In a chat show for Manorama Newsmaker of the year, Mohanlal opened up about his son's acting career.

Mohanlal was all of 26 when he stamped his presence in Mollywood with movies like Rajavinte Makan. Now, the 26-year-old Pranav is all set to make his debut in Jeethu Joseph's film and just like any other father, Mohanlal hopes that his son will recreate his success onscreen.

''Pranav thinks in the same manner like how I used to dream during my younger days. He travels a lot, reads a lot of books, even does music other than his movie interests. It was after many people's insistence that he agreed to do one movie. He got many offers and many people approached him with scripts. But as he had previously worked with Jeethu, he said he will be comfortable with him,'' Mohanlal explained.

“Pranav is now preparing for the movie. When he asked me what to do and how to prepare as an actor all I said was that I can't help him become an actor. He should prove that by himself with his caliber. I told him that he can't be an actor only because he is an actor's son. I can help him only by giving him an opportunity. The rest will happen as per his fate. It would be a miracle if people love him the way they have loved me,'' the megastar added.
