The official press release from MG mentions that Shankar Mahadevan is the latest owner of the M9 electric MPV. A few months ago, we saw the veteran actor Hema Malini taking delivery of the same car. She became the first known star to add this MPV to her collection. The latest image captures Shankar Mahadevan along with his family members taking delivery of the car.
