In the latest episode of In the Ring with Filmfare, Priyamani shared an inspiring lesson she learned from Mohanlal while working on Grandmaster. She admired how he remained committed to his work despite his mother being seriously ill, balancing personal and professional life with remarkable discipline.
Recalling the experience, Priyamani said, "Sir’s mother was kind of serious, she was in the hospital. I have seen this man at times when you are shooting from 9 AM to 6 PM or 9 AM to 9 PM, and he would go straight from the set to the hospital, spend time there with his mom, get ready at the hospital, and come back to the set for the shoot. He maintained that professionalism on set. So I asked Sir, ‘I understand your mother is not well, she is in the hospital, but don’t you feel like just stopping the shoot, saying you won’t come, and just going to be with her?’”
She continued, "He said, ‘When I am on the set, I am the actor. When I am off set, I am the son. So I don’t mix my personal and professional life. When I am doing my duty as a son, I never let my professional commitments interfere. But when I am here, yes, I might answer a call, but I don’t want to burden the director or tell the entire team to cancel the shoot. I don’t want people to wait for me unnecessarily.’ That was a very valuable lesson I learned."
Meanwhile, Priyamani’s latest film, Officer On Duty, released on February 20, has been receiving a positive response. The Malayalam police drama, starring Kunchacko Boban, features gripping action and an engaging storyline.
