'Received messages from Parvathy and Rima on that day, I don't know if Mohanlal and Mammootty called'

Kani Kusruti is a Malayalam actress who won international attention recently. The film 'All We Imagine As Light', in which Kani appeared along with actress Divya Prabha, had won the Grand Prix award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Following this, several film stars came up congratulating the cast and crew of the film for achieving the incredible feat.

In an interview given to News18, Kani Kusruti said that several stars from the Malayalam film industry called to congratulate her on the achievement. She said that she received messages from actresses such as Parvathy Thiruvothu and Rima Kallingal congratulating her for the achievement. Kani added that the responses came mostly from female stars.

"Actors like Kunchacko Boban and Jayasurya also expressed their wishes. However, I don't know if Mohanlal and Mammootty called to congratulate me. That's because my phone was switched off when I was attending the Cannes Festival. All actors in Malayalam saw the recognition that I got as their own. There is a very strong brotherhood and friendship in Kerala. We will support each other very much," Kani Kusruti said.

"I had received 549 messages congratulating me. I was so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start. Hence, I was not able to reply to all messages. I don't have a manager to check this," Kani added.

Meanwhile, both Mohanlal and Mammootty had shared posts on social media extending wishes to the cast and crew of 'All We Imagine As Light'.
