Malyalam superstar Mohanlal meets PM Narendra Modi

Malyalam superstar Mohanlal met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday to brief him about the social works his organisation is carrying out. However, the meeting followed by Mohanlal’s Facebook triggered speculations that the actor is likely to contest 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Kerala as BJP candidate. The 58-year-old actor posted that he met PM Modi “on the auspicious day of Janmashtami” and “briefed him about ViswaSanthi Foundation and our multifaceted social initiatives”.

“He (PM Modi) has assured all support and offered to participate in the Global Malayalee Round table that can formulate futuristic solutions for a New Kerala,” the post further said. Later, addressing a press conference, Mohanlal also said that the Prime Minister had assured all possible assistance for Kerala, where the worst floods in a century killed nearly 300 people and displaced thousands of others.
