Taking the opportunity to thank Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mohanlal further wrote: “I take this opportunity to thank the Government of India , the companies which are producing the vaccine & the medical fraternity, including all hospitals, for their relentless assistance and cooperation shown towards the COVID Vaccination Drive.” He completed his message by tagging Modi in his post.
