Mohanlal’s Controversies

Band controversy

Lalisom - The Lal Effect is a musical group that was founded in 2014 by Mohanlal and guitarist Ratheesh Vegha. The band received criticism on social media for lip-syncing after initially charging a fee of 1.63 crore.

Singing Controversy

When Mohanlal claimed to have performed the song Mathalathenunnan from the movie Uyarum Njaan Naadake he sparked a debate.
