Kalyani Menon about Mohanlal.

I had to work really really hard to get right. Cinematographer Rajeev Menon's mother, who's a Carnatic Musician, was cursing everyone for my presence. She wanted to know how a north Indian woman could play a Carnatic singer. According to her, the only person who has played a Carnatic singer successfully is Mohanlal. - Kalyani Menon (Carnatic Singer, Mother of Director Rajeev Menon - played Guptan in Harikrishnans.)
