Dressed in his army uniform, he met with officers before heading to the affected regions, demonstrating his commitment to service. Mohanlal was awarded the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army in 2009 and continues to show his dedication by supporting those in need during times of crisis.
