Cinema VinesMalayalam film icon Mohanlal issued a heartfelt apology to the organisers and fans of a planned stage show in Sydney, Australia, after the event was cancelled because he was unable to secure a visa in time. The apology, delivered in a video message recorded in Singapore, expressed his disappointment and regret over missing the performance.
In the clip, Mohanlal spoke candidly about the circumstances that led to the cancellation. He explained that, despite having performed in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Ireland earlier that year, the Sydney show could not proceed because he did not receive a visa. He suggested that the issue might have stemmed from a technical or clerical error, or even an AI‑generated problem, but he chose not to elaborate further.
The star took full responsibility for the mishap, stating, “I am taking all the blame on myself. I am telling you that it is my fault. I am very sorry about it.” He added that he did not wish to blame anyone else for the situation and that the organisers and his team had made every effort to make the event happen.
Mohanlal praised the work of the organisers, particularly Vimal from Kayal Events, saying, “Everyone else is there. To make this happen, everyone worked hard in every humanly possible way, especially Vimal from Kayal Events and his office. We all tried our best.” He also expressed sincere apologies to those who had travelled long distances to attend, urging them to accept his heartfelt regret.
Looking ahead, the actor promised that his team would return to Sydney to stage a new show with the same crew. He concluded, “I promise that we will come back with the same team and do a wonderful show in front of you. I am so sorry. To each one of you, I apologise from the bottom of my heart. Really sorry, and I am helpless. Please accept my apologies.”
