Morgan Freeman played Mandela in 2009 film Invictus, which is probably how the mistake arose.
'We should be proud that we were part of an era when they lived,' read the condolence message on the board in Tamil.
The DailyMail said a vendor, Chandrashekhar, who paid for the board in a private capacity as a mark of respect to the former South African leader, said it was a mistake by the designer.
'We will replace it with the correct picture of Mandela,' the merchant, who uses one name, told AFP by telephone from Chennai, adding that he did not know how the gaffe occurred.
Earlier this month Morgan Freeman, paid tribute to Mandela, describing him as 'a saint to many, a hero to all who treasure liberty, freedom and the dignity of humankind'.

This is a significant problem. Kindly develop an app which would allow HL to respond to a post only after his 3rd reading

This is considerably better than those who read three times and still have NO CLUE as to what is being "said"... Now, I have no shame to say that sometimes I find myself in that situation with regards to the writing of a couple posters whom I shall not name...
