THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Actor Mohanlal’s music band which performed at the inaugural function of the 35th national games, was not Lalism, said music director and coordinator of the troupe Ratheesh Vega. The news that the band has been disbanded is totally baseless, he said.
Ratheesh came forward with an explanation after widespread criticisms have been levelled against the programme in social networking sites.
The programme was criticized for not having a standard as that of a ganamela performed during temple festivals. The singing of Mohanlal was also criticized. Lalism was presented by Mohanlal after including the songs of noted singers of the country. The songs chosen and the presentation were both criticized.
Ratheesh said the show performed yesterday was not Lalism. It was specially organized for the national games. I don’t think there were lapses in the show. The errors in the organization and the uncontrollable crowd were unfavorable for us. Lalism will be presented by choosing the best songs.
The new controversy broke out in between the allegations that the music band was paid a whopping Rs 2 crore. Mohanlal had revealed that he had not personally accepted any money and the money obtained was to pay for the artistes.
