When Anoop Menon called working with Mohanlal ‘A Joy’

As actor-director Anoop Menon gears up to collaborate with Mohanlal for an upcoming project, let’s revisit his heartfelt admiration for the legendary actor.

In an earlier interview with Deccan Chronicle, Anoop Menon shared his deep respect for Mohanlal, calling him a joy to work with. “Lalettan is such a joy to work with, and just getting to see him act is a great experience. He is very humble and down-to-earth,” Anoop had said.

Reflecting on Mohanlal and Mammootty’s influence, Anoop Menon acknowledged that they were the guiding figures for his generation of actors. “Lalettan and Mammookka are the teachers for every actor in my generation. We initially learned the art by imitating them,” he noted.
Anoop also spoke about how people sometimes compare his looks and gestures to Mohanlal. “Since I’m chubby and look a little like him, people say my acting style is similar to his. But it’s mostly just the looks. My mother was the first to tell me that I resemble Lalettan,” he added.
Mohanlal recently announced his next project with the ‘Varaal’ actor via an Instagram post. Mohanlal said that the project is very close to his heart. “Delighted to announce my next film, a dramatic journey traversing love, longing and music to be shot extensively in Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata and Shillong. Written and directed by Anoop Menon and featuring a stellar team BTS, produced by Timeless movies, this subject is so close to my heart..I sincerely welcome all of you to be part of our epic journey. @anoopmenoninclusive,” reads Mohanlal’s Instagram note.
Meanwhile, Mohanlal and Anoop Menon’s previous team-up was for the action drama movie ‘Big Brother’ which was directed by the late filmmaker Siddique.
With a new project in the pipeline, fans are eager to see Anoop Menon and Mohanlal reunite on screen once again.
