Mohanlal is not just popular in Mollywood, but is a respected actor in Kollywood as well. The actor, who is popular in these parts for his performance in 'Siraichalai' and 'Unnaipol Oruvan' among other films, has expressed concern over safety of individuals.

Writing on his blog on his birthday (May 21), the actor wondered if Kerala was turning into an asylum. He was referring to the brutal murder of revolutionary Marxist leader TP Chandrasekharan at Onchiyam in Kozhikode district on May 4.

"My mother is in hospital for the last three months after a brain stroke. And I think of the mother of Chandrasekharan who was brutally hacked to death. I can fathom the sea of grief in the mother's mind when she learns that her son is chopped to death," he wrote.

Mohanlal added: "I do not know Chandrasekharan personally and have only limited knowledge about him, reading newspapers. If he was alive now, he would have been of my age. His mother will be of the same age as my mother. Mothers know the pain of losing their children when they are alive. Can these people ever give life to a tiny ant?
