Mohanlal's next titled 'Monster' stars Manchu Lakshmi in an important role. It's a mystery thriller directed by Vysakh. It's now streaming on DisneyPlusHotstar. Revealing insights of the film in an interview Manchu Lakshmi says...
- I played a very interesting role of Manju Durga in this film. While acting in it I had the doubt if they would portray my role just the way they narrated. It's because most of the characters narrated change when it comes to implementation. Here I haven't experienced any such things.
- I had language related difficulties while acting in Malayalam. They're different from the ones back in Telugu, they were lengthy. I went to the sets energetically and they said my character should be dull. I took a little time to get in to the mood and language.
- Mohanlal is a legendary actor. He isn't just an actor but also has multifaceted talents. He did many experiments on screen and still doing many challenging roles. I said I wish to do one film every year with you, to mohanlal garu. At his age and stature it's quite common to think about a safe play instead of doing these controversial subjects but he's unique.
- In my opinion love has no gender, region, caste, religion differences. Any two people can love each other. No one has a right to dictate whom to love.
- I enjoy trolls and memes. I even try to give clues to them to make more creative stuff. More than an actor I present myself well in TV programmes. As of now I'm working in Gambler, Lechindi Mahila Lokam, Agni Nakshatram and other movies.
