Prithviraj Sukumaran compares his Sarzameen co-star Kajol to Mohanlal, calls her ‘a truly gifted artist…'

Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol recently made the headlines as they appeared together in the Bollywood movie Sarzameen. As the movie premiered on JioHotstar, the Kaduva actor compared his co-star to Malayalee superstar Mohanlal. What made Prithviraj consider Kajol and Mohanlal to be similar? Talking with Bollywood Bubble, Prithviraj Sukumaran said, 'Kajol is wonderful, she's a truly gifted artist. And, she is an instinctive actor. The greatest thing about collaborating with such actors is that they make the pitch for your character unpredictable.' 'It's not like you have rehearsed with them a couple of times. It also happens with Mohanlal sir. He's very instinctive as an actor. If we do 5 takes with him, each take will be different from the others. Kajol is a lot like him. She truly believes in being instinctive about her performance pitch,' he added. Prithviraj's team hits back against false rumors In recent times, reports suggested that Prithviraj claimed Lucifer 3 would be the biggest action venture in Indian cinema, even including underwater action sequences. However, the actor's team, Poffactio, has hit back against these rumors, clearing the air. The team has also criticized news portals for spreading false claims and said, 'We express our disappointment in major channels for spreading false news claiming that Prithviraj Sukumaran made statements about the L3 movie. These reports are entirely untrue.' '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,' the post read. Here's the official post: About Sarzameen Sarzameen is a Hindi-language movie starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in leading roles. The film follows the story of Vijay Menon, an Indian Army officer who seemingly loses his son only to discover him to be part of a militant group after many years. The movie, written and directed by Kayoze Irani, was directly released on OTT and received mixed reviews. Moving ahead, Prithviraj Sukumaran is next set to appear in the lead role for the Malayalam movie Vilayath Buddha. The actor is also part of the Mahesh Babu starrer SSMB29, directed by SS Rajamouli.

Prithviraj Sukumaran's Team SLAMS 'False' Rumours About Mohanlal's L3 Azrael

Prithviraj Sukumaran's team issued a statement clarifying that he has not made any comments about underwater sequences in part 3 of Lucifer, L3: Azrael. Actor-filmmaker Prithviraj Sukumaran has been busy promoting his recently-released film 'Sarzameen'. Amid this, certain media reports about his Malayalam blockbuster franchise Lucifer also surfaced on the Internet. A few Malayalam channels suggested that the third installment of Lucifer, L3: Azrael, would include high-octane underwater action scenes. However, Prithviraj's team has debunked these claims. In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Prithviraj's official team, POFFACTIO, dismissed the circulating reports as 'completely false' and 'entirely untrue.' They expressed disappointment over major channels spreading misinformation, clarifying that Prithviraj never made such statements about L3: Azrael. They highlighted that these false claims seem to stem from a fake social media profile, likely part of a 'hate campaign' against the actor. 'We express our disappointment in major channels for spreading false news claiming that Prithviraj Sukumaran made statements about the L3 movie. These reports are entirely untrue. We urge all media outlets to refer to the official interview videos from the Sarzameen promotions for accurate information. It appears this misinformation originated from a fake profile ID as part of a hate campaign," read the statement. They urged media outlets to refer to official interview videos from Sarzameen promotions for accurate information, requesting that channels verify facts before reporting. '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," they added. The Lucifer franchise, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj, began with Lucifer in 2019. The sequel, L2: Empuraan, released earlier this year, received positive reactions from fans. L3: Azrael is anticipated to be the final chapter of the political-action trilogy, though no official details about its plot or filming schedule have been revealed. While details of L3 remain undisclosed, Prithviraj is actively involved in various projects. After Empuraan, he featured in the comedy Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil and recently in Sarzameen, alongside Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Sarzameen was released on 25 July 2025, on JioHotstar.

Kajol Celebrates Parents Day With Unseen Pics Of Her Mother, Father And In-Laws

Last Updated: On the work front, Kajol is receiving widespread acclaim for her latest film Sarzameen, directed by Kayoz Irani. Kajol often shares her personal life updates. And today also she took to her Instagram on Parents' Day to celebrate the people who shaped her life-her parents and in-laws. She shared a series of unseen photographs that instantly went viral among the fans. The Tribhanga actress took to her Instagram handle and posted nostalgic pictures of her legendary mother, veteran actress Tanuja, her late father Shomu Mukherjee, and her in-laws Veeru Devgan and Veena Devgan. 'Parents Day feels too small a name for what they've done for me. But here's a post anyway. And a big thank you to you 4 #happyparentsday," read the caption. Fans reacted with heart emojis in the comment section. Kajol and Ajay Devgn as their daughter Nysa Devgan has recently graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Business Administration in International Hospitality, specializing in Luxury Brand Strategy. The 22-year-old was pursuing her degree at the Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland. Now, a video from her graduation ceremony has gone viral on social media, and has garnered a lot of attention. As Nysa walked up on stage, one cheering voice stood out—fans are convinced it was her mother Kajol's. A video clip from the convocation ceremony shows Nysa Devgan walking on stage to receive her degree. Amid the applause and cheers at the ceremony, one excited voice rose above the rest. Although Nysa Devgan often makes headlines whenever she's spotted by the paparazzi, Kajol has previously revealed that her daughter has no plans to enter showbiz. In April, while speaking at News18's Rising Bharat Summit 2025, Kajol stated that Nysa currently has no plans to pursue a career in acting. 'Bilkul I 22 saal ki ho gayi wali hai abhi.. I think she has made up her mind that ki nai aane wali hai abhi (Absolutely not… No, I think she's turned 22 now—or about to. I think she's made up her mind that she's not going to enter [showbiz] right now)," said Kajol. On the work front, Kajol is receiving widespread acclaim for her latest film Sarzameen, directed by Kayoz Irani. Prior to this, she starred in Maa, a poignant drama helmed by Vishal Furia, where she shared the screen with Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. Maa was released in theatres on June 27.
