Malayalam superstar was once close to becoming a monk in Himalayas after series of flops. Why he changed his mind?

Superstar Mohanlal once faced immense financial and emotional strain. His independent film productions, driven by artistic ambition, suffered major box-office setbacks. This led to heavy monetary losses and a period of deep despair. He even contemplated abandoning films and embarking on a long journey.
