Mohanlal on Patriot criticism

Speaking to Galatta Plus, Mohanlal said, “Mixed reactions are coming in for the film. But I liked the movie. Very often, people evaluate a film by separating the character from the actor, and there is nothing we can do about that. When the story of this film was narrated to me, it felt like a different experience. That is why I agreed to do it.”
