‘It’s an experience’

Pranav Mohanlal's mother wishes he would do more films but he has other plans.

Suchitra said in the interview that Pranav, whom she lovingly calls Appu, is working on a farm in exchange for food and accommodation instead of acting. Matrubhumi translated what she said in Malayalam, “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’s mom also said that while he’s still interested in acting, he’s also picky about 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.
