Superstar
Mohanlal recently opened up about his father, late
Vishwanathan Nair in a video for director Samuthirakani’s Tamil film 'Appa'. “My
father left me but he’s still in my memories as the wind, fragrance, sunset and sunrise. When I remember him, I turn into his favourite child,” he said.
Recalling fond memories with his father, the actor said, “My father gave me the freedom that allowed me fly.
I am a father too and similarily I have given my
son (
Pranav) the same freedom to what he wants in life.”
The actor also said that the place of a father constantly changes. “Today’s father is tomorrow’s son, I tell my son that,” Mohanlal explained, “The journey of being a dad will continue with my son, his son and so on. It’s a journey that goes on for generations.”
The superstar is currently in Ooty filming for
Priyadarshan’s 'Oppam', which has him playing a visually-challenged murder suspect.
