The Georgekutty family has reunited on the sets of Drishyam 3, and while the onscreen tension is at an all-time high, the off-screen energy is surprisingly playful. Esther Anil, who has grown up playing Mohanlal’s youngest daughter in the franchise, recently shared some delightful insights on the superstar’s behavior during their latest schedule.
While fans are eagerly waiting to see how the saga concludes, Esther reveals that working with the veteran actor is less about intense method acting and more about managing his “mischievous” streaks. “Lal Uncle is a incredibly naughty person on set,” Esther laughed during a recent interaction. “When he is around, it feels like we’ve found a partner-in-crime for everything.”
The actress noted a peculiar trend as the years go by. Instead of growing more reserved, the legendary actor seems to be tapping into his inner child. “I feel like the older he gets, the more mischievous he becomes. Often on set, we find ourselves wondering who the youngest person there actually is! And I’m not even exaggerating; it’s the absolute truth,” she added.
According to Esther, Mohanlal possesses a rare quality of being completely present. She observed that he doesn’t seem burdened by thoughts of the past or future, choosing instead to fully inhabit the current moment. This often manifests in him “bullying” his co-stars in a funny and sensible way.
However, the superstar’s “bullying” always comes with a touch of warmth. Esther shared that if he ever senses that his teasing has genuinely upset someone, he is quick to make amends. “He will immediately go to them, clarify that he didn’t mean it that way, and give them a warm hug,” she said.
As Drishyam 3 moves closer to its release, these behind-the-scenes stories highlight the deep bond between the cast members who have lived these characters for over a decade. While the world waits for the suspense to unfold on screen, the sets remain a place of laughter and legendary mischief.
