Mohanlal & Billionaire Businessman Yusuff Ali Arrive In Autorickshaw [Video]

Celebrities and billionaire businessmen are often known to lead a lavish lifestyle. They frequently travel in expensive cars and caravans, and we have seen several examples of this on the internet. However, there are also instances where these popular personalities are seen arriving at events in vehicles that are not luxurious or premium by any means. Here we have one such video where Malayalam movie star Mohanlal and billionaire businessman M. A. Yusuff Ali were seen arriving at an event in an autorickshaw.

The video has been shared by Shyam Photography on his Instagram page. In the video, we see a bunch of people running around a blue-coloured electric autorickshaw. Some of the men appear to be personal security staff members. As the autorickshaw comes closer, you realise why people were running after it.

Two popular personalities were travelling in the auto. One was the popular actor from the Malayalam film industry, Mohanlal, and the other was M. A. Yusuff Ali, Chairman and Managing Director of Lulu Group International. They were both arriving for an event in Thiruvananthapuram.

Both of them arrive at the location. Mohanlal asks the auto driver to stop the vehicle and even chats with the driver for a few seconds before getting out. He continues the conversation after stepping out and then walks towards the stage where the event was taking place. They are surrounded by personal security staff, as the number of people gathered at the venue to see the star was quite large.

Mohanlal is seen in a new look, sporting only a moustache and no beard. This appears to be the look he is maintaining for his upcoming movie, where he is likely playing the role of a cop.

It looks like the actor and Yusuff Ali had arrived at the venue in their own vehicles and, from the parking lot-or possibly from outside the restricted area where their cars dropped them-they took the autorickshaw, which was being used as a buggy to drop people closer to the venue.

It appears that Mohanlal and Yusuff Ali had arrived for the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters 2026 (MBIFL). The autorickshaw seen in the video is a Piaggio Ape Electric. Electric autorickshaws are gaining popularity in the commercial segment.

The electric autorickshaw seen in the video is available in two variants. One comes with a swappable battery, while the other gets a fixed battery unit. The variant with the fixed battery is powered by an 8 kWh battery pack, which generates 10 PS and 30 Nm of peak torque. The autorickshaw can carry three passengers apart from the driver and offers a driving range of around 150 km.

Both Mohanlal and Yusuff Ali have a variety of expensive cars and SUVs in their collections. In fact, Yusuff Ali is a billionaire businessman and, apart from cars, also owns helicopters and private jets. In Kerala, he has several luxury vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a Maybach GLS 600.

Mohanlal, on the other hand, also owns several expensive cars, and one of the most recent additions to his collection is the current-generation Range Rover.
