It’s not every day that a superstar becomes a fanboy, but that’s exactly what happened when Malayalam icon Mohanlal received a signed jersey from none other than football legend Lionel Messi.

In a video posted on his Instagram handle, Messi is signing the jersey, creating a memory that the actor clearly cherishes deeply. The clip also features Mohanlal beaming with pride as he poses with the jersey — now one of his most treasured belongings.

Describing the surreal moment, Mohanlal wrote, “Some moments in life feel too profound for words. They stay with you forever. Today, I experienced one of those moments. As I gently unwrapped the gift, my heart skipped a beat—a jersey signed by the legend himself, Lionel Messi. And there it was… my name, written in his own hand.”

The actor didn’t stop there. Expressing his heartfelt gratitude, he added, “For someone who has long admired Messi, not just for his brilliance on the field but for his humility and grace, this was truly special. This incredible moment wouldn’t have been possible without the kindness of two dear friends: Dr. Rajeev Mangottil and Rajesh Philip. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And above all, thank you, God, for this unforgettable gift.”

On the work front

On the work front, Mohanlal is riding high on the phenomenal success of 'L2: Empuraan', the much-anticipated sequel to 'Lucifer'. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran — who also starred in the film — 'L2: Empuraan' smashed records to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film to date, raking in over ₹300 crore at the box office.

The veteran actor is showing no signs of slowing down, with multiple projects lined up. These include 'Thudarum' directed by Tharun Moorthy, 'Hridayapoorvam' helmed by Sathyan Anthikad, and the multilingual film 'Vrushabha', directed by Nanda Kishore.
