In an interview with Onmanorama, Mohanlal said, “Pranav is now preparing for the movie. When he asked me what to do and how to prepare as an actor all I said was that I can't help him become an actor. He should prove that by himself with his caliber. I told him that he can't be an actor only because he is an actor's son. I can help him only by giving him an opportunity. The rest will happen as per his fate. It would be a miracle if people love him the way they have loved me."
Further, the actor talking more about his son said that Pranav travels a lot and is fond of reading books. Additionally, Mohanlal revealed that his son was approached with many scripts in the past but he kept denying them.
