Malayalam superstar Mohanlal couldn’t hold back his excitement on Monday when he congratulated the Indian cricket team for their nail-biting victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup finals. He praised Team India for pulling off a “fiery chase against Pakistan” with pure brilliance.
In a post on his X account, Mohanlal shared his joy: “A fiery chase against Pakistan sealed with sheer brilliance! The Men in Blue dazzled with relentless spirit. Congrats, Team India!”
This win marks India’s ninth straight victory against Pakistan in T20 cricket, sparking wild celebrations across the nation. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) showed its appreciation by awarding the team and support staff a whopping Rs 21 crore in prize money.
The BCCI fired up its own X post: “3 blows. 0 response. Asia Cup Champions. Message delivered. 21 crores prize money for the team and support staff.” They added, “𝗖. 𝗛. 𝗔. 𝗠. 𝗣. 𝗜. 𝗢. 𝗡. 𝗦. A dominant performance capped by an unbeaten campaign. Congratulations to #TeamIndia on winning #AsiaCup2025.”
On a personal note, Mohanlal—who just received the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke Award—has kicked off production on the third installment of his hit franchise, Drishyam. About a week ago, he announced on social media: “Bringing Georgekutty’s world alive once again… Today marks the beginning of Drishyam 3 with the Pooja. #Drishyam3 #Drishyam #AashirvadCinemas #jeethujoseph.”
Mohanlal also shared an emotional thank-you note to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the honor. Quoting the PM’s tweet, he wrote: “I am deeply humbled and profoundly honored to receive The Dadasaheb Phalke Award. My heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji for your kind words and blessings, they fill me with encouragement and joy. I remain ever indebted to the art of cinema and to all those whose inspiration and support illuminate my journey. @narendramodi.”
