Srinivasan is a well-known actor to Malayalees. Srinivasan's words about Mohanlal once went viral months ago. Srinivasan even said that Mohanlal gave him an umma at the Manorama Award function in the rain because he is a complete actor. At that time it was discussed in a big way and Srinivasan was criticized by movie lovers and Mohanlal fans. In an interview given to YouTube channel Cinema The Q, Srinivasan's words about Mohanlal's humility are going viral. Srinivasan said that Mohanlal is a humble actor without any arrogance. 'Mohanlal has no sense of pride.' Pulli has the attitude to approach actors and everyone else with humility. I am convinced that it is a matter that needs to be fixed. When there are problems, Polly never takes it lightly and doesn't say anything when someone asks. When we act together there is no lack of equation or such problems.'
'Whatever the issue is between us, it never comes up when we are acting. Mohanlal has no idea that I am a great actor. No one. Close friends still call. Pulli has no qualms about me saying all that in the interview. I have not been asked about the same. Recently, Mohanlal gave me an umma at the Mazhavil Manorama award function.” When asked about the same in an interview, I said that he even gave me an umma because he is a complete actor. Hearing that, my wife scolded me terribly,” said Srinivasan with a smile. Filmmakers always talk about Mohanlal's humility.
