The Story in Brief
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has issued an emotional apology after a visa issue forced him to cancel a stage show in Sydney. In a video message from Singapore, the actor said he failed to get an Australian visa for the first time in his life, calling it a possible technical or clerical error or an AI-generated issue, the Hindustan Times reports. The rest of the team, including singer K S Chithra, had already reached Australia. Mohanlal accepted full responsibility and promised to return with the same team for a later show. The event was organised by Kayal Events.
The Indian Opinion
Some social media chatter is trying to paint this as either a bureaucratic failure by Australia or a sign that Mohanlal's star power is waning. Neither holds. Visa denials happen to celebrities across the world, and the actor's willingness to take full blame, without pointing fingers, is rare and commendable. The test now is whether the rescheduled show materialises and whether the organisers can secure a visa in time for the new date.
