Mohanlal, Sanju Samson to feature together in 'something special'; fans excited
Sanju Samson and Mohanlal's mystery collaboration has sparked curiosity after the cricketer teased "something special" with the Malayalam superstar.
Cricketer Sanju Samson has given fans something to look forward to after sharing a photograph with Malayalam actor Mohanlal on Instagram and hinting that the two may have something special in store. The Indian cricketer reposted an image from the Team Samson account on his Instagram Stories, showing the two seated together inside a vehicle, with Samson taking the selfie.
While there has been no word yet on what the meeting was about, the caption on the original post drew attention. "Something special on the way," Team Samson wrote. Sharing it on his Story, Samson added, "Was an absolutely super special experience to do something like this with the greatest of all times.. Lalettan."
The Kerala-born wicketkeeper-batter was one of the standout performers in India's victorious 2026 T20 World Cup campaign and was named Player of the Tournament after a run of important innings. His unbeaten 97 against the West Indies in the Super Eight played a major role in helping India reach the semi-finals.
Mohanlal was among the Malayalam film personalities who reacted to that knock, describing it on social media as a "truly masterful innings". Samson's links with Malayalam cinema are not new. He has remained hugely popular among the people of Kerala, and actors and filmmakers from the industry have often celebrated his performances.
Earlier this year, filmmaker Priyadarshan also shared a picture with Samson and called it a proud moment for every Malayali cricket fan. The wider conversation around Samson and Malayalam cinema has also included why he skipped acting in Athiradi despite being approached by Basil Joseph.
Samson has also referred to Mohanlal while speaking about his approach to cricket. His career has often been compared with the unpredictable, comeback-heavy arc associated with a Mohanlal film, after several frustrating phases before he became a key player for India.
Chennai Super Kings too re-shared the photograph on social media with the caption, "Chettan and Ettan."
The latest picture has now sparked curiosity over what the "something special" could be. With Samson, Mohanlal and CSK all linked to the post, fans are wondering whether it is connected to a film, a brand collaboration, the second season of KCL or something involving the IPL franchise.
