Mohanlal on romance in films: 'Feel some kind of love towards the heroine'
In today's throwback, we revisit the time when Mohanlal was asked about his feelings while performing romantic scenes. The veteran actor was candid and shared his genuine emotions. This was around the time his film with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Iruvar, was the talk of the town.
During a TV show aired on Kairali TV, actor Mukesh spoke to Mohanlal about his onscreen chemistry with heroines. The Malayalam star mentioned that he had romanced several leading ladies in many films. Mukesh said that viewers often asked him whether filming such romantic scenes was a pleasant experience. He pointed out that most people didn't realize these scenes were shot in front of large crews with many people watching.
Mukesh then added that whenever he saw Mohanlal performing romantic scenes, he noticed a certain sincerity in his approach. He admitted to being surprised by how genuine the actor appeared in those moments. Curious, Mukesh asked whether the Drishyam actor had ever developed real feelings for any of his co-stars during filming.
Responding to the question, Mohanlal said, "Love is a very beautiful emotion. To be frank, we are loving everyone at every time. But we are giving this love to only a selected number of people. When we shoot romantic song sequences, we usually feel some kind of love towards the heroine, and that is an obvious fact."
The Thudarum star also shared that the feelings he developed for his heroines were not lasting. He explained that the emotional connection usually faded once the song sequence was completed. Mohanlal further mentioned that the bond existed only during the shoot and did not continue beyond that.
Now, coming to his work front, Mohanlal has several projects in his pipeline, including MMMN, Hridayapoorvam, Drishyam 3, L3: The Beginning and more. Currently, his film Thudarum is doing wonders at the box office. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the movie has become a massive success. Apart from this, Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan also performed exceptionally well in theaters.

Thug Life vs Housefull 5 Opening Weekend Box Office: Akshay Kumar's comedy dominates Kamal Haasan starrer by a Rs 50 crore margin
Thug Life and Housefull 5 locked horns with one another over the Bakri Eid weekend at the Indian box office. Thug Life released a day earlier than Housefull 5 and grossed Rs 81 crore worldwide over its extended 4 day weekend. Housefull 5 has emerged a clear winner grossing Rs 131 crore worldwide in just 3 days. Let's break down the box office of both films in further detail. Thug Life grossed slightly over Rs 36 crore worldwide on its opening day. Due to poor word of mouth, the film saw a striking drop over the subsequent days. It barely managed to double its opening day over the weekend and that is disastrous. The 4 day India collections of Thug Life stand at an abysmal Rs 40 crore while the film has brought a better, although poor, Rs 41 crore from international markets. The movie is unlikely to touch Rs 100 crore worldwide in its lifetime and that is tragic, given that big Tamil movies are grossing that much on their very first day. Infact, Leo, in advance, grossed more than what Thug Life will, in the full run. Housefull 5 opened to good worldwide collections of a little over Rs 38 crore. It grossed Rs 26.50 crore (Rs 22 crore net) in India, and managed around Rs 12 crore from international markets. The film went from strength to strength over the weekend, growing on Bakri Eid and then also on Sunday. The India gross total of Housefull 5 after 3 days is Rs 95 crore, while it has grossed around Rs 36.50 crores internationally. The weekend collections are the highest for an Akshay Kumar starrer as a lead hero, be it in India, overseas or worldwide. Housefull 5 is holding well in India on Monday. The collections internationally are expected to show bigger drops because the driver of the collections of Housefull 5 over the weekend were the Gulf countries and the Gulf market is more frontloaded. Had it been North America leading the numbers, one could have expected better holds for the comic caper. Regardless, it has done well for itself. The Weekend Box Office Comparison Of Thug Life And Housefull 5 Is As Under Thug Life and Housefull 5 play in theatres near you, now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on both movies.

Throwback: When Mohanlal slapped a person for badmouthing THIS veteran Malayali superstar

In an old interview with the news channel Kairali TV, the Lucifer actor discussed how he had slapped a person for badmouthing a former superstar in the Malayalam cinema industry. As per his words, the actor said, 'You hit someone only when you have no other option, right? However, even now, if such a situation arises, I will do the same. It's a reflex action, isn't it? He continuously ridiculed this certain star for two to three hours.' The actor added, 'Everything has a pinnacle and a zenith, right? You can't go beyond that. At that time, I did it. Even now, that will probably be my reaction if a similar situation arises.'
