October 12, 2011: The Army head quarters received a complaint about the misuse of the position lieutenant colonel by actor Mohanlal.
A retired Brigadier filed the complaint after noticing the advertisement of Grand Kerala Shopping Festival, where Mohanlal acted in it with the full uniform of Lieutenent Colonel keeping a comercial motive.
The advertisement publicised in electronic and print media between 2010 December and 2011 January. The act of Mohanlal is against the ethics and prescribed norms of the honorary position held by him.
He is only allowed to wear the uniform in the official programmes and ceremonial parades.
The Army's honorary position is availed to those who inspires youth to join the Army.
