It was reported a few days ago that Mohanlal's band 'Lalisom ' has commanded `2 crore to perform at the opening ceremony of the National Games 2015, at the capital city. No big criticisms opened up from any sphere until director Vinayan, who is already in loggerheads with the actor has started using the chance.

Citing that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar agreement to be the guest at the game is for free, Vinayan says he felt pity for the Sports Minister who agreed to such a deal with Mohanlal. He points out although the money belongs to the government, it is our tax money.

Vinayan adds that Lalisom is a band formed by a Malayali music director and actor with his own songs to publicize himself . More over they haven't made say performances as yet. And so Vinayan feels it unacceptable to charge such a big sum.
