Mammootty and Mohanlal have been close friends and colleagues for many years. Recently, Mohanlal showed his care for Mammootty through a thoughtful act at the Sabarimala temple in Kerala. While visiting the temple, he offered a special prayer for Mammootty. This gesture was initially private, but when a photo of the prayer receipt appeared online, it became widely shared and loved by fans. Speaking about it, Mohanlal said, "We've been working together for 45 years and appeared in over 55 films together. He is like a brother to me, and our families are very close. While I was at Sabarimala, I thought of him and prayed for him."
Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer, which marked the directorial debut of Prithviraj Sukumaran. Lucifer was a massive commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film at the time by collecting over Rs 200 crore worldwide. With the sequel set to release tomorrow, March 27, 2025, expectations are soaring high among fans.
The film is jointly produced by Antony Perumbavoor's Aashirvad Cinemas, Lyca Productions, and Sri Gokulam Movies. Written by Murali Gopy, the film features music by Deepak Dev, cinematography by Sujith Vaassudev, and editing by Akhilesh Mohan.
Mammootty's public support comes shortly after reports emerged that Mohanlal had recently offered prayers at the Sabarimala temple for Mammootty's health and well-being.
