In a recent press conference, the first time he was speaking at length to media,
Vinayakan was asked a question which left him speechless. Will you become a rival to
Mohanlal, he was asked, to which he replied, 'A rival to Mohanlal? Oh My God.'
Vinayakan also revealed that both Mohanlal and the Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan had called him to congratulate him, and he was a bit jittery when he got the call of the CM.
