Mohanlal, the beloved actor of Malayalam cinema, has recently raised a significant alarm about the drug menace in Kerala. Speaking at a felicitation event for Chief Minister VD Satheesan, he highlighted the urgent need to address the growing issue of narcotics that is affecting the youth, particularly schoolchildren.

During his address, Mohanlal quoted one of his popular film dialogues, emphasizing that "narcotics is a dirty business." He pointed out that drugs are still flowing through Kerala and are alarmingly present in the vicinity of schools. He remarked, “If we can help improve the roads that kill and the filth that destroys that land, we can do great things.” His comments reflect a deep concern for the community and the future of the younger generation.

Mohanlal urged the government to take a strong and unwavering stand against drug trafficking and abuse. He expressed confidence in the current administration's strength to combat this growing menace and eradicate the "disease of narcotic drugs" from society. His passionate plea resonates with many, reminding everyone of the pressing need to tackle this crisis head-on.

Alongside his advocacy against drug abuse, Mohanlal is celebrating the success of his latest film, Drishyam 3, which was released in theaters just last week, coinciding with his birthday. Directed by Jeethu Joseph and produced by Antony Perumbavoor for Aashirvad Cinemas, the film continues the gripping narrative established in its predecessors, Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021).

As Mohanlal enjoys the accolades from his cinematic endeavors, his call to action against drug abuse remains a vital message for society. It highlights the actor's commitment not just to his art but to the well-being of the community he cherishes. The need for collective action to safeguard the future of children is more crucial than ever, and Mohanlal’s voice adds a significant weight to this urgent cause.
