Manorathangal’s trailer was launched yesterday in a grand event which led to a controversy. It is an anthology web series, which stars Mohanlal, Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil, Biju Menon, and Asif Ali. At the event, every cast and crew member was given some mementoes. The actor was asked to present a memento to composer Ramesh Narayan. But, the musician’s reaction shocked everyone as he refused to take the honour from Asif.
Ramesh took the memento from Asif and asked seasoned filmmaker Jayarajan Nair to present the memento to him. Asif took a step back and maintained a dignified composure on the same. However, the video of the incident went viral on social media. As the video surfaced online, several users backlashed Ramesh Narayan.
A user wrote on ‘X’ formerly known as Twitter and said “Ramesh Narayan refuses to take award from #AsifAli. Very poor etiquette from him. Asif kept his happy demeanour despite the snub.”

A comment read, “Really bad and Ramesh Narayan had this kind of attitude in previous times too, During Ennu ninte moiden he kept allegations that Prithiviraj is interfering in my music.” Another user said, “Well there were people who didn't want to accept an award from Mohanlal. If that could happen to Mohanlal then Asif inde karyam parayanda. In any case, it's disrespectful to Asif.” A comment read, “It was totally disrespectful that too from an experienced old man. There is a basic thing called respect which ppl forget when they reach high level. Shame on you Ramesh Narayan.”
