Mohanlal is Manorama’s News maker of the year
Superstar Mohanlal has won the Manorma News Maker Award for the year 2016. The award is given every year to a person from Kerala who has been there in the headlines throughout the year and inspired a positive change in the society.
Popular writer M Mukundan announced the award for Mohanlal. The writer while announcing the award said, “Mohanlal is an actor who can influence the masses. He is able to update himself with the changing technologies.”
Mohanlal said he was proud to receive the award. He added that, he sees this is as a reward for his 38-year long career as an actor. Mohanlal also said that all his answers during the Newsmaker conversation was true and that he believes that the viewers could understand it.
The News maker of the Year is chosen by the viewers through SMS and online voting.

Mohanlal was in the news continuously last year. He created history in Mollywood through the action packed entertainer Pulimurugan. The movie became the first ever Malayalam movie to enter the prestigious 100 crore club. His Telugu movie Janatha Garage, where he teamed up with Jr NTR was also a 100 crore grosser.
Apart from the success in his acting career, Mohanlal also hogged the headlines for his controversial blog supporting the demonetisation move by the Indian government. The actor’s blog was received with mixed response as many people supported his views while others criticised him for making a comparison about people standing in queues in liquor shops and theatres to those who stand before ATMs to withdraw money.
We feel that Mohanlal is the perfect choice for the News maker of the year award as he singlehandedly took the Malayalam film industry to new heights that seemed improbable for a Malayalam movie.
