I don&#8217;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 largest number of shows,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mohanlal said he had performed at shows in the US, Germany, the UK and Ireland this year and that the Sydney event had been planned with a good concept.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone with me, including K S Chithra, is there. But I don&#8217;t know, somehow it happened. For the first time in my life, I did not get my visa. I don&#8217;t know how it happened. It could be a technical or clerical mistake, or an AI-generated issue. I am not going into further details of what it is,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Taking responsibility for the situation, he said, &#8220;I am taking all the blame on myself. I am telling you that it is my fault. I am very sorry about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mohanlal said the organisers and his team had made every effort to make the event possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing regret to those who had travelled long distances to attend the show, he said, &#8220;To each one of you who drove from far away and came to watch this show, I apologise from the bottom of my heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He promised that the team would return to Sydney and organise a show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; he said. &#8212; PTI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Malayalam superstar Mohanlal on Saturday apologised to the organisers and participants of a stage show in Sydney, Australia,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":563024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[251,430,24458,156,8707,594,256868,345,111,256869,139,69,256867],"class_list":["post-563023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-breaking-news","tag-celebrities","tag-columns","tag-entertainment","tag-india-news","tag-interviews","tag-live-commentary","tag-live-updates","tag-new-zealand","tag-news-india","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-rediff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/563024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
