Lalettan at Pulimoottil Silks

When the biggest superstar in Mollywood and – if some surveys are to be believed – the most popular Malayalee makes a public appearance in your neighbourhood, you can ill-afford to miss out on the opportunity to glimpse the man. More so when you are a die-hard fan.

Lalettan arrived at the inauguration of the Pulimoottil Silks showroom in Palace Road, Thrissur, a few days ago. Thanks to an ABVP sponsored vidyabhasa bandh, what ought to have been a working day, ended up being a holiday. Which meant I could go and watch Lalettan cut the ribbon!

Yes, that is indeed a picture that I snapped on my mobile camera. You can’t see Mohanlal in that (why the hell did I buy a Nokia 6020 which only has a useless VGA camera?), but at least you get an idea of how popular he is in this part of the world!!
