The

the
Kalabhavan
Mani
condolence
meet
have
reached
a
whole
new
level.
The
superstar
who
demanded
to
omit
director
Vinayan
from
the
list
of
invitees,
is
none
other
than
Mohanlal.
Director
Baiju
Kottarakkara,
who
is
also
the
president
of
MAKTA
Federation,
revealed
that
it
was
Mohanlal
who
asked
the
organisers
not
to
invite
Vinayan
for
the
event,
in
the
presence
of
a
popular
singer.
Here
we
present
you
the
top
controversies
of
Mohanlal.
Have
a
look...
Mention
In
Saritha
Nair's
Letter
Some
popular
TV
channels
reported
that
solar
scam
accused
Saritha
Nair has
clearly
mentioned
that
Mohanlal
has
used
her,
along
with
the
popular
personalities
of
Kerala
political
and
social
platforms,
in
her
highly
controversial
letter.
Lalisom
Controversy
Mohanlal's
band
performance
at
National
games
inaugural
ceremony
landed
up
in
a
huge
controversy.
Mohanlal
allegedly
used
recorded
tracks
during
the
performance.
Public
and
media
harshly
criticized
the
actor
for
the
poor
performance.
Mohanlal
Returned
Lalisom
Remuneration
Mohanlal
returned
the
remuneration
he
received
for
the
Lalisom
show,
to
Kerala
Government
and
which
led
into
another
controversy.
The
government
decided
to
spend
the
remuneration
for
the
benefits
of
the
students
who
are
interested
in
sports.
Supporting
Sanjay
Dutt
Mohanlal
offered
his
support
for
Bollywood
actor
Sanjay
Dutt,
who
is
convicted
under TADA
for
his
involvement
in
Mumbai
serial
blasts
case
of
1993.
The
actor
received
huge
criticisms
for
his
statement.
Illegitimate
Possession
Of
Elephant
Tusks
Mohanlal
was
charged
under
the
Animal
Welfare
Act,
for
the
illegal
possession
of
elephant
tusks,
during
the
income
tax
raid
conducted
at
his
residence.
Smoking
In
The
Movie
Poster
Mohanlal
landed
in
trouble
for
posing
with
a
cigarette,
in
the
theatrical
poster
of
2012
released
movie
Karma
Yodha.
Lieutenant
Colonel
Title
Mohanlal
was
formally
inducted
as
a
Lieutenant
Colonel
ton
the
Territorial
Army
of
India,
in
2008.
The
decision
of
the
army
was
highly
criticized
by
the
eminent
personalities
of
various
platforms;
as
men
above
the
age
of
42
are
not
eligible
to
join
the
force.
Promoting
A
Liquor
Brand
Mohanlal
promoted
a
popular
liquor
brand
in
2007;
to
the
much
disappointment
of
his
fans
and
public.
The
popular
ad
campaign
which
had
the
tag
line
'vaikittentha
paripadi' landed
the
actor
in
controversies.
Mohanlal
was
not
ready
to
alter
his
decision
and
confirmed
that
he
will
skip
the
function
if
Vinayan
is
attending.
The
organisers,
who
had
no
other
option,
decided
not
to
invite
Mani's
favourite
director.
According
to
Baiju,
Mohanlal
wanted
to
include
another
director,
who
is
popular
for
his
army-oriented
movies,
in
the
invitees'
list.
But
that
director
hasn't
ever
worked
with
Kalabhavan
Mani
in
his
career.
Baiju
Kottarakkara,
who
was
talking
at
the
recent
press
meet
held
at
Ernakulam
press
club,
stated
that
it
is
extremely
disappointing
to
watch
a
person
like
Mohanlal
dragging
his
personal
vengeance
to
the
public.
The
cold
equation
between
Mohanlal
and
Vinayan
is
not
a
secret
for
the
industry.
The
director
had
openly
criticised
the
actor
several
times,
even
at
the
time
of
Lalisom
controversy.
Mohanlal,
on
the
other
hand,
has
always
maintained
silence
over
his
issues
with
Vinayan.
However,
we
would
like
to
remind
the
complete
actor
that,
there
are
no
permanent
friends
or
enemies
in
cinema.
