Mohanlal promises help to struggling actor Mohan Sharma
Mohan Sharma is an actor and movie producer from India.
He made many popular films, especially in southern India.
Now he is older and not well, and he lives in a home for elderly people.
He has illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure, and he needs medicines every day.
Those medicines cost a lot of money, around 35,000 rupees every month.
He ran out of money and even had to sell his house to pay for a movie he made.
A very famous actor named Rajinikanth was the only person who reached out to help him.
Now another big star, Mohanlal, heard about his problem and promised to help.
Mohanlal said his team will meet Sharma and do whatever is needed for him.
Sharma also asked the leader of his state, Chief Minister Vijay, for help.
Mohanlal has promised help to veteran actor-producer Mohan Sharma, saying a team member will meet him and 'we will do whatever is needed for him.'
Sharma, who lives in an old-age home, needs about Rs 35,000 a month for medicines to manage diabetes, hypertension, and vertigo.
He said superstar Rajinikanth was the only person who reached out to him in his time of need.
Sharma sold his Poes Garden home in Chennai to clear debts from releasing his award-winning final film, Gramam/Namma Gramam.
He has also sought a meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay, a friend of 25 years, but has not yet received a reply.
