Mohanlal opens up about ‘Patriot’ criticism.In an interview with Galata Plus, Mohanlal said that he was deeply moved when he first heard the story. He explained that this was the main reason he agreed to take on the role.He said: “There are mixed reactions to the film. But I loved the film. Often times, people evaluate a film by separating the character from the actor, and there is nothing we can do about it.When I was told the story of this film, I felt it was a different experience.
That’s why I agreed to do this.”Mohanlal also opened up about the unpredictable nature of cinema. He said that no actor could predict how a film would perform commercially.“When we make a film, it is impossible to predict how successful it will be. It is like a vague formula. However, I approach every film with complete love and trust. This is my job and also my social responsibility.When a character comes to me, my duty is to play it with 100 percent sincerity.
He added that it is impossible to predict commercial success and box office numbers, even for major hits.Mohanlal shares his thoughts on ‘Drishyam 3’The actor pointed to the film ‘Drishyam’ as an example and said that no one expected its extraordinary success.“We cannot predict the commercial success or box office collection of a film. Even in the case of Drishyam, no one knew it would become such a massive success.Especially when doing a film like Drishyam 3, I prefer to focus only on the character rather than thinking about its financial aspects.”Mohanlal added, “Georgikutty and his family are something that audiences around the world are eagerly waiting to see. That’s why we cannot take these characters lightly. We have to take this film with utmost seriousness and honesty.”Making money is different, but what’s more important is the honesty we maintain with the film. The script came out very well.”Fahd Fadel

The character is portrayed as someone who has a troubled childhood. Fahadh is not a typical villain. There is a reason why he turns into one. You can’t set a fixed metric to measure performance. Fahadh has played it very honestly. If people feel there is something wrong with this performance, it could be my fault.”
