Mohanlal`s generous 100 crore offering to Lord Murugan
Mohanlal is one of the few Malayalam actors who enjoyed massive success with his back-to-back blockbusters. After L2: Empuraan, it was Thudarum that captivated the audience and received rave reviews from critics as well.
Following the monstrous triumph of the film, a gratitude-filled Mohanlal offered a precious golden Vel (spear) to Lord Murugan. He made the generous donation at the Thirumalai Kumarasamy temple in the Tenkasi district of Tamil Nadu.
Sources say that the actor offered prayers at the popular temple situated at Sengkottai in Tenkasi district in Tamil Nadu. He then offered the golden Vel to the deity. Interestingly, Mohanlal`s character in Thudarum is also a Lord Murugan devotee.
The actor took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared pictures from his visit. He wrote, "Thank you, Almighty #Thudarum." Take a look.
