Prithviraj Sukumaran slams rumours about Mohanlal's Lucifer 3 budget, calls it ‘part of hate campaign'
Prithviraj Sukumaran's team busts rumours about Lucifer 3
Prithviraj's team shared screenshots of various reports that claimed, 'Lucifer 3 will be the biggest and most expensive film in Indian cinema and will feature underwater action, says star Prithviraj Sukumaran.'
They wrote that they 'express disappointment' about the 'false news' denying that Prithviraj ever made these statements. They also wrote, 'It appears this misinformation originated from a fake profile ID as part of a hate campaign. We request all channels to cross-check facts before reporting and to republish corrected news to clarify the truth to the public and Prithviraj's well-wishers. We expect a professional approach in handling this matter. Thank you.'
His team posted the note on both X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
