Parvathy Thiruvothu explains why Mohanlal and Mammootty are called legends
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Parvathy Thiruvothu said, “I worked with Mohanlal a long time ago. I was 19; I’m 38 now. It’s been almost 20 years. Going back to who I was, he maintained his presence as an actor, and I was amazed by that. Also, Jagathy Sreekumar was there, and I only had one scene.”
The actress further added, “I didn’t even know at that time what I wanted to be as an actress and what this art was. I was a child in many ways and I understood that this was the quality I ultimately wanted as an actor. I’m proud to say that now, after 20 years, I’m at a place where I can switch in and out, keep those intuitions and look after my co-actors.”

Parvathy added, “I’m very passionate about taking care of others on set because I’ve noticed that ‘these veterans’ are made legends because they are also better people on set. It has nothing to do with the box office because if they’re an awesome person it won’t matter. I think that’s why people talk about some actors as veterans, because they walk on set and make it a better place.”
“Even with Mammootty, it was the same experience. I mean, obviously, when these people go on a set and there’s a serious atmosphere there. Everyone goes silent and all. However, when they are in front of you, you have to forget that they are these giants. Otherwise, how will we work together, like if I’m looking at them in awe I have to act like slapping them. I love it when these so-called giants and superstars don’t have anything in the way of their art or work. Let me be a newcomer and we are equals in front of the camera,” she concluded.
For those unaware, Parvathy starred opposite Mohanlal in the film Flash, a psychological crime thriller directed by Siby Malayil. Additionally, she appeared opposite Mammootty in the film Puzhu, directed by Rathina, which was released in 2022.
