While promoting his upcoming movie Kaathal – The Core in Kochi, Mammootty talked about his time with Mohanlal at the Keraleeyam event. He mentioned that their conversation didn't focus much on their upcoming projects, as they had a lot of other topics to discuss. When asked if he was looking forward to any particular Mohanlal movies, Mammootty nodded in agreement without mentioning any specific titles. He mentioned his habit of watching all movies consistently and teasingly quizzed the reporter with a friendly smile, "Are you a Lal fan?" This lighthearted comment sparked laughter among those present.

Discussing the impact of movie reviews on a film's success, the septuagenarian superstar expressed that while everyone has the right to voice their opinions, a single review shouldn't determine the fate of a movie. "Every review reflects an individual’s viewpoint. I don’t think stopping reviews would save cinema. The destiny of a movie is determined by the audiences. As I’ve mentioned before, we all have the right to exercise freedom of speech and express our opinions. However, the opinions we express should be our own," said the superstar while promoting Kaathal – The Core.
