Malayalam superstar Mohanlal's son Pranav is an actor by profession. But when he is not on set, he prefers to go backpacking. One glance at his Instagram feed and we know that he is extremely fond of traveling and discovering new places. Despite being the son of Mollywood's biggest star, he does not travel luxuriously. His mother and wife of Mohanlal, Suchitra revealed that Pranav is currently living a slow life in Spain, working on a farm. Pranav Mohanlal's life in Spain In an interview with FTQ with Rekha Menon, Suchitra spoke about how her son is working on a farm in the European nation in exchange for food and shelter. Talking about Appu (Pranav's nickname)in Malayalam she said, "Appu is in Spain now working on a farm or something. There’s no money involved, only accommodation and food. Sometimes, the work involves looking after horses or lambs. It’s an experience. He shares stories whenever he’s back from his travels.” Pranav has only done a handful of films and isn't always active in the industry, unlike his peers. Suchitra said that he is interested in acting but is very picky when it comes to his roles and films. “I like to listen to scripts, so I sit and listen. He does one film every two years. I ask him to do at least two films per year. But when I think about it, I realise he’s trying to balance everything.” She also stated that she has ‘no wish’ for Pranav to act in Mohanlal’s films because ‘people will compare them and judge them’ for it." About Pranav Mohanlal's acting career Pranav began his acting career as a child artist in his father's film 'Onnaman' in 2002. In 2003, he won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Child Artist for the film Punarjani.

12 November,2024 10:23 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAhead of the release of 'Kanguva', Suriya, Siva, and Disha Patani recently appeared in the IMDb original series 'Ask Each Other Anything'. Actor Suriya shared insights into his latest role in Kanguva, reflecting on the significance and depth he brings to this powerful character. Known for taking on challenging roles, Suriya discussed his approach to Kanguva and his inspirations in the film industry. Suriya says he always wants to do something different and challenging When asked about his initial reaction to the Kanguva script, Suriya explained, “I always want to do something different from who I am. In most of my films, I take on those kinds of challenges. Be it 'Pithamagan', 'Ghajini', and even 'Singham' or 'Rolex'. Kanguva is a leader, an inspiration, and a role model. It doesn't happen naturally. Salim Khan-Javed Akhtar sir as writers, they are an inspiration. They have changed the film industry. Actors like Kamal Hassan sir, Rajinikanth sir, Amitabh Bachchan sir. These people are legends and inspirations—individuals who made others want to act and be part of this profession because of them. In Kanguva, he’s a role model for his community and clan, someone they trust, stand behind, and look up to with certain expectations. He must embody qualities that earn trust, from childhood through fatherhood, growing into a figure others can rely on and look up to as a saviour. It’s not just about being a warrior; Kanguva is a complete package.” Suriya wants to go back and thank Aamir Khan On his favorite Hindi remake of his films, Suriya said, “For people who are not aware of the remake, I would like to say again 'Kaakha Kaakha' was 'Force' here, 'Ghajini' was of course just 'Ghajini' in Hindi, and Singham of course was made, but with a lot of changes. Now 'Sarfira' is the remake of 'Soorarai Pottru'. I would go back and thank Aamir Khan sir because usually when a remade film is done, the original actor, the cast, and the directors, are not discussed in front of the media. But for the first time, I think, Aamir sir made sure that he spoke about the film and spoke about all the actors and the director. And, of course, I loved what he did in the Hindi version. Even before anybody could speak about me, I think he was solely responsible for people in North India, people who don't speak Tamil, to know about me. He repeatedly kept taking my name and introduced me to the rest of the audience. And still, other films are very close to my heart. But I would say 'Ghajini' was a wonderful experience, borders were raised, language (barrier) got raised and people got to know me”. When asked if there’s a role from a favourite film he’d like to play, Suriya expressed his admiration for Bollywood classics: “I think everything started in 1975 when 'Sholay' and 'Zanjeer' started and the angry young man look started with those films. The character is played by Amitabh ji, a character named 'Vijay' in Zanjeer. I love it—it’s an iconic film, and I would love to relive those moments. I wish I could do justice to it." Responding to the same question, Patani said, “I love superhero movies, so I would say Wonder Woman”. 'Kanguva' will be released worldwide on 14th November 2024.

12 November,2024 05:48 PM IST | KolkataKarnataka Forest Department has filed an FIR in connection with the incident of cutting of hundreds of trees for the shooting of superstar Yash-starrer ‘Toxic’ film in Bengaluru, sources confirmed on Tuesday. Sources said that the FIR was filed after obtaining consent from the court. The KVN Productions, Canara bank general manager and general manager of HMT are named as accused in the FIR. Earlier, Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre stated that action would be initiated in connection with tree cutting in the land belonging to HMT in Bengaluru for the shooting of the film superstar Yash-starrer ‘Toxic’. “The illegal cutting of hundreds of trees in forest land under the possession of HMT for the filming of the film ‘Toxic’ has raised serious concerns,” said Minister Khandre. He added satellite images clearly show this illegal act. “I visited the site today for an inspection. I have instructed that immediate and strict legal action be taken against those responsible for this crime,” Khandre stated. He added that the shooting for the ‘Toxic’ film is going on. “I have personally inspected the spot. The total picture of the landscape has changed and aerial survey pictures have confirmed it. I am writing a letter seeking action to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). There is a provision to lodge a case under the provision of the Forest Act 24. We have got all the details,” Khandre maintained. He said that the department has also provided preliminary information. “The probe has to be conducted and I have written a letter about it. The film team has built a small village set in the said land. The preservation of forest is my foremost duty and I won’t compromise with that,” Khandre stated. Reacting to the development, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H. D. Kumaraswamy stated that Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre has "trespassed" on Public Sector Unit Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) land. "I will provide comprehensive information on everything shortly. Eshwar Khandre has trespassed onto the HMT premises. A legal dispute is ongoing in the court, and we await the verdict. We will fight this battle through legal means, not for publicity," Kumaraswamy said. Khandre lacks information and knowledge as HMT sold the land to Canara Bank in 2002, he claimed. The Union Minister's remarks came a day after Khandre visited the HMT land and said action would be initiated for felling hundreds of trees in Bengaluru for the shooting of the film 'Toxic', featuring actor Yash. Kumaraswamy pointed out: "Large-scale Forest land encroachment occurred in multiple areas, including Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, and Bengaluru districts. The forest minister was showing special concern only for the HMT land." The Union Minister questioned the forest minister's courage in clearing forest land illegally occupied by a former Speaker in Srinivaspura, Kolar district. "Are you, Khandre, practising one rule for the poor and another for Congress leaders? I know what instructions were given to you by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah," he had slammed.

In 'Kaakha Kaakha' (2003), her salary was three times higher than mine. I also realized at that time where I was in life. She was ready to be a part of my life; her parents had also agreed.
