were spared. Ashraf says that L K Advani
had come to Trivandrum for a RSS function and his hospitality was with film
people. Advani was told that Mammootty was No 1 and with a help from RSS shakas

Prithviraj’s
daughter Alankrita who sang for her Dad’s film L2 Empuran got from Music
Director Deepak Dev a set of Harry
Potter toys. She had liked J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World novels. Along with
the gifts, he also gave her flowers, a gesture he knew would be appreciated,
thanks to his experience as a father of two daughters. The idea of getting
Harry Potter toys had actually come from Prithviraj.
The
recording was held in a Mumbai studio, with Deepak and Prithviraj joining via
Zoom call. Deepak remarked that she was truly her father’s daughter, as she
instinctively understood how to convey emotions. He only needed to mention a feeling
once, and she grasped it immediately, delivering effortlessly. In the theme
song she only sang a single word twice, its impact on the audience was huge.
