Popular actor Mohanlal has received a notice from the Kerala Khadi committee, thanks to his acting in an advertisement for a textile company in which he posed using a spinning wheel. Onam is the biggest festival of Kerala and in this occasion, the Kerala Khadi committee has been selling Khadi products competing strongly with private textile firms.
In such a situation, actor Mohanlal had acted in a textile company's ad, acting using a spinning wheel, and this had shocked the Kerala Khadi committee and they had issued a notice to Mohanlal and the textile firm proprietor, to withdraw the advertisement, and as per the leader of Kerala Khadi committee Shobana Raj, using hand spinning wheel, only Khadi dresses can be created, and hand spinning wheel has been an identity of the nation.
While the company for which Mohanlal
did the ad has no connection with Khadi, why should they make use of them,
questioned Shobana. This news of Mohanlal getting a notice has sent shock waves
in the Malayalam film industry.
