Mohanlal Opens Up About Missing Sydney Show
Speaking in a video message from Singapore, Mohanlal expressed his disappointment over missing the event and said the situation was unlike anything he had experienced during his nearly five-decade career.
“I don’t know how to express my grief. I am in a very sad situation. It has been almost 50 years since I entered the film industry. Perhaps, I am the actor from India who has performed in the most number of shows,” he said.
The actor said this was the first time he had been unable to obtain a visa for an overseas show. He added that he wasn't aware of the precise reason for the delay.
“For the first time in my life, I did not get my visa. I don’t know how it happened. It could be a technical or clerical mistake, or an AI-generated issue,” he said.
Mohanlal also said he did not want to get into the finer details of the matter or place the blame on anyone. Despite the visa setback, he said he had made efforts to reach Sydney for the performance.
