Superstar Mohanlal clears air about his political entry, says 'Not my cup of tea'
He said "Politics is not the subject I know a lot about"
Hyderabad: The actor who was recently honoured with the Padma Bhushan Award, added that he is happy with his acting profession and that he is not thinking of contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from any party.
"I enjoy my profession as an actor because it gives me a lot of freedom. A lot of people will depend on you if you become a politician. Also, it’s not a subject that I know a lot about and soit is not my cup of tea" he was quoted as saying.
His statement is timed after Kerala BJP General Secretary MT Ramesh, had announced that the saffron party was planning to get the superstar on board to contest the Lok Sabha elections from a constituency of his choice.
Speculations were also made of his political entry after he was awarded the Padma Bhushan award, a move credited to his cordial relationship with the BJP, by political experts.
However, his fans’ official body ‘Mohanlal Fans and Welfare Association’ had voiced their dissent to the reports and had stated that they will oppose any moves towards his political entry.
