Mohanlal apologises after visa denial forces Sydney show cancellation
Mohanlal apologises after visa issue forces cancellation of Sydney show: ‘Sad situation’ · indianexpress.com

Mohanlal is a very famous movie actor from India who acts in Malayalam films.

He was supposed to perform a special stage show in Sydney, Australia, with singer K S Chithra and other artists.

But he did not get the visa he needed to travel to Australia, so the show was cancelled.

A visa is a special permission that lets you enter another country.

Mohanlal recorded a video message in Singapore to say sorry to the fans and the organisers.

He said this was the first time in his whole life that he had not received a visa.

He thinks maybe there was a small mistake with the paperwork, or even a computer problem.

He took all the blame on himself and did not blame anyone else.

He promised that he and the same team would come back to Sydney for another wonderful show.

He thanked everyone who worked hard to make the show happen and said he felt helpless.
