He also took oath at the event along with others to keep their surroundings clean. “It is not a one-day event. We have been contemplating ways to carry forward this mission,” the Pulimurugan star told the media.

“To be a responsible citizen, everyone needs to be proud of their nation first and should understand that the “country is our home and home is our identity,” Mohanlal had said in a Facebook post responding to the invitation from Modi.

“I think, no other day is better than the birth anniversary day of our Father of Nation when we should promise ourselves and our home that we will keep it clean forever and never make it dirty in future,” he added.

Mohanlal is currently busy shooting for his upcoming thriller Odiyan, which is directed by VA Shrikumar Menon. He is also currently awaiting the release of Villain, a crime thriller, which is directed by B Unnikrishnan.
