Ayushmann Khurrana responds to Jude remark, praises Mohanlal as legend
A movie director named Jude said something about a famous actor that made people talk.
The actor was Mohanlal, a big star in Malayalam movies.
Some people thought Jude's words were also about another actor, Ayushmann Khurrana.
But Jude explained that his words were about a movie producer, not Ayushmann.
There was a script involving Mohanlal that Ayushmann reportedly liked.
The project never ended up being made.
Jude said that was not Ayushmann's fault.
Ayushmann said he respects Mohanlal a lot and called him a legend.
He hopes to act with Mohanlal one day.
Both Ayushmann and Jude want to work together in the future.
Filmmaker Jude Anthany Joseph clarified that his earlier Mohanlal remark was directed at the producer involved, not at Ayushmann Khurrana.
Jude said Ayushmann had been happy with the script involving Mohanlal, but the project ultimately did not work out.
The project was only at a preliminary discussion stage, with no formal commitment from Ayushmann and no direct communication between him and Jude.
Ayushmann praised Mohanlal as 'a legend' and said he hopes to share screen space with him someday.
Both Ayushmann and Jude expressed mutual respect and interest in working together in the future.
