Overview
- In a Manorama News interview, Prithviraj said he does not use films to declare his politics and would speak directly if he wished to do so.
- He described social media as weaponised, warning that reactions can turn people into heroes or villains and twist intent.
- He maintained that Mohanlal and the producers were briefed on the story before production, rebutting claims that the star was unaware.
- The makers undertook voluntary edits after objections to Gujarat-riots imagery, cutting riot visuals and depictions of violence against women.
- Mohanlal previously issued a public apology for any discomfort caused, which Prithviraj reshared, as the film stands among Malayalam cinema’s top grossers.
