THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Actor Mohanlal has sent a legal notice to Khadi Board seeking a compensation of Rs 50 crore. The board had earlier sent legal notices to a textile group and actor Mohanlal over an advertisement showing him spinning a charkha.

Mohanlal sent the notice to the board in reply for it. Board vice chairperson Shobana George in a press meet said the actor has demanded an apology from the board or else release a statement of apology and if we fail to do so will have to pay a compensation of Rs 50 crore.

The controversies started after the actor acted in an advertisement of a textiles group. Charkha is for producing khadi and the advertisement with Mohanlal on a charkha is misleading, the board said.
