Pranav Mohanlal
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.
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 âno wish' for Pranav to act in Mohanlal's films because âpeople will compare them and judge them' for it."
