Further, Mohanlal added, "For someone who has long admired Messi, not just for his brilliance on the field but for his humility and grace, this was truly special.

And above all, thank you, God, for this unforgettable gift."

On the work front, Mohanlal was last seen in L2: Empuraan, which released on March 27. He acted alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran, who also directed the film.
