Entertainment circles are abuzz with the news that renowned Malayalam actor Mohanlal recently held a private meeting with his esteemed colleague, Mammootty, as reported by the esteemed Malayalam news publication, Manorama. According to the report, the confidential consultation centred on a significant decision taken by Mohanlal, to which Mammootty purportedly lent his support, deeming it the most prudent course of action.
