“It was a huge experience getting to work with a 'veteran youngster' like Mammootty uncle. I could learn so much without him even teaching me anything. It was like attending a university for 25 days,” he said. “Initially, my character was there only in the first half, but that got extended.”

Superstars put their blood and sweat into each movie: Gokul Suresh

Gokul, who was last seen in the superhit film Gaganachari, also talked about how criticism about superstar movies is sometimes too harsh . “I hope every movie that I do gives me a break,” he said. “Every time I watch a movie, even those done by senior actors, and then hear the criticism they are subjected to, I feel disheartened. People, especially our senior actors, put their blood, sweat and tears into each film; no one goes out of their way to do a bad movie. So, maybe it’s the expectations of the audiences that is leading to these reactions.”
