In a recent Instagram video, actor Pranav Mohanlal was seen searching for books at a Mathrubhumi Books store. The fan-posted video featured background music from his father Mohanlal’s movie Devadoothan (“Poove poove paalappoove”), with the caption: “Jr Devadoothan in my frame.”

The video shows Pranav browsing for books, taking a selfie with a fan, and leaving the store with a cloth bag, possibly containing books, draped over his shoulders. As he departs, he smiles at the camera, displaying his usual humility.

Many comments praised the actor's simplicity and humility, pointing out his grounded nature despite his celebrity status. One comment read, “What are your intentions, man?! When you live like this, it reflects poorly on us! ‘Despite his name and fame, look at how simple he is. Here is someone who lacks talent and money but certainly doesn’t lack showiness,’ our family would say.”

Other comments included: "Someone needs to remind him that he is the son of the top actor in India"; “Has he forgotten that he is Mohanlal's son?”; "Le Dulquer: 'He is going to ruin my reputation'"; “If simplicity and humility had a face... that’s him!”; and “An elephant doesn’t know its own size.”

The video quickly went viral, with over 4.5 million views, 328K likes, and nearly 2000 comments.
