Ayushmann Khurrana Responds to Jude Anthany Joseph’s Clarification Regarding Mohanlal Script
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has addressed filmmaker Jude Anthany Joseph’s recent clarification concerning a past project that reportedly involved Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. Responding directly on Joseph’s Instagram post, Khurrana expressed high admiration for Mohanlal while clearing up lingering speculation around the project.
The exchange follows a post shared by Jude Anthany Joseph after meeting Khurrana, where the filmmaker clarified that a previous remark regarding the shelved script was aimed at the project’s producer rather than the actor. Joseph noted that Khurrana had liked the script and was not at fault for the project not materializing, adding that he maintains great respect for the actor and hopes to collaborate with him in the future.
In response, Khurrana praised Joseph’s directorial work and reiterated his respect for the veteran Malayalam actor, writing, “I’m a fan of your work and I hope that I get the opportunity to work with you soon. I have the utmost respect for Mohanlal sir’s work. He is a legend. I hope I’m worthy enough to share screen space with him someday.”
Reports surrounding the undeveloped project indicate that there was no direct communication between Khurrana’s team and Joseph regarding the script. Any preliminary discussions occurred exclusively at the production level before any formal commitments were made, with Mohanlal’s name never brought up in project discussions involving Khurrana.
Khurrana’s warm message and Joseph’s public clarification have put an end to rumors of friction, establishing mutual respect between both sides as both express interest in working together on future endeavors.
