Mohanlal in no mood to compete in B'wood

Though Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is making his presence felt in Bollywood with Priyadarshan directed film Tezz, the actor is in no mood to prove his calibre as an actor in the Hindi film industry.

At a time when young entrants from South are looking to make a strong presence in Bollywood, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal feels that although the reach of Hindi cinema is wider, he has nothing much to prove here as an actor.

Mohanlal, who has acted in Hindi films like Company and Aag told PTI, “I am working for 33 years there, what should I come and prove in Hindi industry. I am content and happy with my own language. Now if I get a very good and irresistible role then I will try and do a film here. I don't want to prove anything.”

Mohanlal went on to add, “Lot of people, most of the actresses start from South.. they are newcomers they are trying to do Hindi films as the reach is big. There are so many factors. For actors like me it is fine.”
