The legendary director concluded the video by wishing Barroz to emerge as an iconic film celebrated globally. Mohanlal, delighted with Fazil’s loving gesture, shared the special video on his official social media handles, with a caption that reads: “Thank you, dear Pachikka, for your heartfelt prayers and blessings.”
