Vikram praises Mohanlal

Actors Vikram and Mohanlal’s much-anticipated films, Veera Dheera Sooran and L2 Empuraan, were both released on March 27, sparking excitement among fans. While promoting Veera Dheera Sooran in Kerala, Vikram shared an amusing and heartfelt anecdote about his wife, Shailaja Balakrishnan, who is a massive fan of Mohanlal.

Vikram expressed his admiration for Mohanlal, affectionately known as Lalettan, and revealed, “I am a huge fan of Lalettan, but my wife is a bigger fan than me. Whatever I do, and even if I do something very nice, she will say Mohanlal does it better.”

He went on to share a lighthearted conversation he had with his wife regarding which film she would watch first this Thursday. To his amusement, she couldn’t choose, saying she would watch both Veera Dheera Sooran and L2 Empuraan.

Veera Dheera Sooran, also stylised as Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, is an action-drama directed by SU Arun Kumar. The film’s prequel, Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 1, is yet to go on floors.
