A
controversy
has
hit
the
Malayalam
film
industry
and
that
too
in
connection
with
the
Kerala
State
Film
Awards
ceremony,
which
has
been
scheduled
to
be
held
on
August
08,
2018.
Reports
had
surfaced
that
none
other
than
Kerala's
own
Mohanlal
will
be
the
Chief
Guest
of
the
function,
which
will
be
held
at
Thiruvananthapuram.
Upon
this,
various
opinions
came
out
that
Kerala
State
Awards
should
be
held
in
the
same
way
the
National
Film
Awards
are
being
held.
Reportedly,
a
petition
has
already
been
sent
to
the
Chief
Minister
of
Kerala,
against
the
decision
of
inviting
Mohanlal
for
the
function.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
petition
has
cited
the
reason
that
Mohanlal
was
one
among
the
contestants
for
the
awards
and
invinting
the
contestant
as
the
Chief
Guest
should
be
avoided.
Reports
had
surfaced
that
celebrities
like
Prakash
Raj,
Geethu
Mohandas,
Rima
Kallingal
and
100
others
have
signed
the
petition.
But
now,
Prakash
Raj
has
revealed
the
truth
while
speaking
to
Manorama
Online.

Prakash
Raj
Hasn't
Signed
The
Petition
While
speaking
to
Manorama
Online,
Prakash
Raj
revealed
that
he
hasn't
signed
on
any
petition
against
Mohanlal,
which
has
been
reportedly
sent
to
the
Chief
Minister
of
Kerala.
It
has
also
been
revealed
that
nobody
had
approached
him
in
connection
with
the
same.
Prakash
Raj
Regarding
AMMA's
Decision
He
added
that
he
has
difference
in
opinion
regarding
AMMA's
stand
in
the
Dileep
issue
and
he
had
openly
talked
about
it.
But
he
also
mentioned
that
his
stand
is
not
against
Mohanlal
but
only
against
the
organization.
He
also
mentioned
that
it
was
the
organization's
decision
and
not
Mohanlal's
alone
and
hence
one
should
not
mix
up
this
along
with
him
attending
the
Kerala
State
Film
Awards
ceremony.
Prakash
Raj
About
Mohanlal
The
actor
also
emphasized
that
Mohanlal
is
one
of
the
finest
actors
of
the
country
and
he
deserves
to
attend
the
function.
People
who
are
going
against
him
are
insulting
Mohanlal
as
well
as
themselves.
Social
Media
Regarding
The
Controversy
Other
celebrities
too
have
come
out
in
support
of
Mohanlal
attending
the
big
function.
At

time,
a
good
number
of
social
media
users
too
are
in
support
of
Mohanlal.
