Lucifer, starring Mohanlal and directed by actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, is reportedly doing well at the box office worldwide. It has reportedly emerged as the biggest opener for Mohanlal at the USA Box Office.
Manju Warrier, who plays an important character in Lucifer, told the Indian Express, “Lucifer is getting a positive response. The audience is also sharing interesting observations regarding the movie. The confidence that Raju (Prithviraj) had while shooting the movie and the way he handled the movie gave confidence and hope to all of us. We commit to every movie with the hope and prayer that it should turn out to be a hit. But the result depends upon the tastes and attitude of the audience. When a movie is welcomed wholeheartedly by the audience, it gives us immense pleasure.” She added, “When the movie garnered great reviews in the first day, it filled our heart with joy.”
