"Mohanlal Does It Better': Vikram shares his wife's endearing admiration for Lalettan
Early this year (2025), as Tamil superstar Vikram was busy promoting his film ' Veera Dheera Sooran ', a charming and humorous anecdote he shared won the hearts of fans—especially in Kerala. During a promotional event in God's Own Country Kerala, Vikram gave audiences a glimpse into his personal life, revealing that while he is an ardent admirer of Malayalam legend Mohanlal , there's someone in his home who reveres the actor even more—his wife.' "Lalettan does it better" Vikram recalled with a laugh that no matter how impressive his own performance might be, his wife never fails to gently remind him, 'Mohanlal would've done it better.' What started as a compliment to the Malayalam icon has turned into a running joke within their household. 'I'm a huge fan of Lalettan, but my wife is a bigger fan than me,' Vikram admitted with a smile. 'Even if I do something very nice, she'll say, 'Mohanlal does it better.'' He added that when he asked her which film she would watch first—Veera Dheera Sooran or L2: Empuraan—she simply replied, 'Both.' It was a candid moment that not only showcased Vikram's humility and sense of humor but also highlighted Mohanlal's lasting appeal across generations and film industries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around in 2025 Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Two Titans, Two Films: A box office clash Interestingly, Vikram's Veera Dheera Sooran and Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan were both slated for release on March 27, 2025. However, fate had different plans for Vikram's action-packed thriller. Directed by S. U. Arun, 'Veera Dheera Sooran' faced last-minute legal hurdles that delayed its release across India. An interim court order restricted screenings until after 10:30 am on release day. Theaters like PVR and Cinepolis pulled early shows in Bengaluru, and US premieres were canceled entirely. Meanwhile, L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and serving as a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer, roared into cinemas with overwhelming fanfare. The film, featuring Mohanlal reprising his iconic role, received glowing reviews and quickly became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. A moment of fanhood and fondness This throwback moment from Vikram's promotional tour offered more than just a laugh—it served as a reminder of how admiration for cinema transcends language and borders. Even for a versatile actor like Vikram, there's room for fanhood. And in his household, that crown clearly belongs to Mohanlal. It was a story that blended humor, humility, and the universal charm of great actors—one that fans across South India fondly remember.
