Here's a shocking incident that happened during the Nandi Natakotsavam in Rajahmundry with the Star Comedian Ali who got into a brawl with the security personnel for not allowing him in the route arranged for the MLAs and MPs. After this news was informed to Murali Mohan, he apologized publicly to Ali regarding this.
Murali Mohan said "I'm sorry Ali. I am apologising to you on behalf of all of us." After this Ali responded "I'm not feeling bad. I can understand certain security arrangements should be done when Chief Minister arrives but they should realise 'Prapancham Lo Ekkadiki Vellina Ee Mokam Oka Chalandi...Ali Ani Telustundhi'. No one will recognise if Mukesh Ambani walks on the road, but the same don't apply for Ali."
He further said "These people (security) should realise it! I haven't gone to other state, it's AP, my home town Rajahmundry. If they stop even a person like me, then what kind of value did they give to me? I have come here just because of artists and the kind of bonding I share with Murali Mohan. Cancelled several functions and has come to here by road as the flight delayed. I sacrificed Rs 2 lakhs of remuneration I would get for a single day to be here".
