Mohanlal,
the

was
the

He

Mohanlal
started
off
by
thanking
the
organisers
for
inviting
him
to
such
a
prestigious
function
and
also
spoke
about
the
land
of
Thiruvananthapuram,
where
the
event
was
being
held
and
how
the
place
has
been
an
integral
part
of
his
life.
Addressing
to
his
colleagues,
he
mentioned
that
he
didn't
feel
like
he'd
come
there
as
a
Chief
Guest
but
felt
like
it
was
a
get-together
with
his
colleagues,
who
are
like
a
family
to
him.
He
also
stated
that
he
believes
he
doesn't
need
anybody's
permission
to
come
amidst
them
and
since
the
past
40
years,
he
has
been
one
among
them.
He
congratulated
all
the
winners
of
the
awards
ceremony
and
added
that
to
witness
his
colleagues
getting
honoured
was
a
matter
of
pride,
duty
as
well
as
a
right
for
him.
The
much
loved
actor
also
mentioned
that
he
knew
there
was
a
curtain
for
his
film
career
as
well
and
that
he'd
be
there
till
the
curtain
drops.
He
also
added
that
he
believes
there
will
be
a
seat
for
him
amidst
them
till
that
moment.
His
speech
received
a
massive
response
from
the
crowd
who
had
gathered
at
the
auditorium
for
the
big
event.
At
the
same
time,
the
video
of
Mohanlal's
speech
has
been
doing
the
rounds
on
social
media
and
it
has
received

and

The
