Mohanlal on his kids joining movies
For the unaware, Vismaya Mohanlal, the daughter of the Malayalam cinema legend and Dadasaheb Phalke award winner Mohanlal, is set to make her acting debut with 'Thudakkam', directed by Jude Anthany Joseph and produced by Antony Perumbavoor under Aashirvad Cinemas.
Speaking at the launch event, Mohanlal had said he had never imagined that both his children would follow him into films. "When I was in Class 6, I won the best actor award - so did my son Appu (Pranav). But I never thought I'd become an actor, nor that my children would. My daughter is named Vismaya because my life has always been full of surprises," he said.
"When she decided to act, we gave her our full support. Both my children now have to work hard - I can only be a catalyst."
Referring to Antony Perumbavoor's son, who also features in the film, Mohanlal quipped, "Antony's son too has a major role - but this is not a family affair", drawing laughter from the gathering.
Producer Antony Perumbavoor described the project as "something that cannot be expressed in words", and said the decision for Vismaya to act was a collective one. "Jude has now become like an extended family member," he added.
