Malavika Mohanan is excited to work with Mohanlal for the first time in Hridayapoorvam. A few days ago, she even shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the film’s sets, and fans couldn’t keep calm. However, a troll criticised the veteran Malayalam actor for romancing a woman half his age in the movie.

The social media user wrote, "65 year old man playing the love interest of a 30 year old. What is with these veteran actors desperate to play roles that don't fit their ages?"

Malavika Mohanan responded to the criticism by asking why people assumed her character was a love interest, urging them not to judge her or the film based on half-baked assumptions.

In her words, "Who told you it’s a love interest? Stop judging people and a film with your half baked baseless assumptions."

According to her, the time spent on the project was joyful, and comforting. Malavika shared that the experience left her feeling deeply content. Watching Mohanlal and Sathyan perform, she said, was a learning opportunity. She admired their talent and the respectful way they worked.
