Filmmaker Priyadarshan's daughter Kalyani, who is gearing up to make her acting debut soon, has slammed the rumours on her love affair with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal's son, Pranav.

Reports speculating a possible affair between Kalyani Priyadarshan and Pranav Mohanlal surfaced after the latter's club posted a photo of the two on his Instagram in May. The two budding stars remained mum on the rumours.

And then, another photo appeared on the same Instagram page and the rumours-mongers went into an overdrive.

In an interview, Kalyani Priyadarshan laughed off the reports on their rumoured relationship.

She said he was like an older brother to her and their families know there is no such relationship as speculated. They indeed had a good laugh when they read those reports.

Meanwhile, Kalyani Priyadarshan heaped praise upon Pranav Mohanlal. She said he is a simple guy and can live under any circumstance. He is a role model for all the kids in their family circle, she added.

Kalyani Priyadarshan is set to debut with an upcoming Telugu movie opposite Akhil Akkineni. But she wants to make it big in the Malayalam film industry. Pranav Mohanlal will make his acting debut with Jeethu Joseph's movie, Aadhi, which is currently being shot in Kerala.
