A day before the release of the highly-anticipated pan-Indian movie ‘Empuraan’, the popular lyricist admired the long-standing friendship of Malayalam stars Mohanlal and Mammootty

Popular Hindi lyricist Javed Akhtar has come in awe of the friendship between Malayalam stars Mohanlal and Mammootty. Akhtar took to social media to express his thoughts.

“I wish every Mammootty of India had a friend like Mohanlal and every Mohanlal had a friend like Mammootty,” he wrote. A day before the release of Mohanlal’s highly-anticipated pan-Indian movie L2:Empuraan, Mammootty took to X to wish the entire team of the film.

“Best wishes to the entire cast and crew of Empuraan for a historic victory. Hope it crosses boundaries across the world and makes the entire Malayalam industry proud. Rooting for you, dear Lal and Prithvi,” wrote Mammootty.

Mohanlal thanked Mammootty, saying his wishes meant a lot. “Some moments just hit different. When it comes from my brother, it becomes priceless. Thank you, Ichakka. This means a lot,” said Mohanlal.

Akhtar praised the bonhomie between the two legendary actors. “It’s obvious that their great friendship is beyond the understanding of some small, narrow minded, petty and negative people, but who cares,” wrote Akhtar.

Mammootty and Mohanlal have acted in over 50 films in their illustrious careers. The duo is set to star in Mahesh Narayanan’s movie, tentatively titled MMMN. The ambitious project, which brings back the two actors on screen after a long gap, is currently in the filming stage.
