A Viral Post. A Parking Lot. And a Shocking Accusation.
The actors, Unni Mukundan, for instance, have a certain kind of brotherhood that always shines on screen. It is surprising that a brilliant performer like him can be involved in such a scandal that brings down an entire indstry.
Unni Mukundan, who is generally known as the macho image hero of Malayalam cinema, apart from being a popular figure throughout India, today may seem a little too far off from all of this as he is being held liable for causes of commotion that practically quaked the South Indian film industry. His ex-manager, Vipin kumar, has complained to the police stating an act of aggression that led to the verbal abuse, the damage of the sunglasses and the wounding of the self-esteem.
The story that we heard is that a friend of Vipin, Vipin Kumar, got into a fight with a security guard infact, who is now out of a job when the supervisor of the garage-the real security guard appeared. Iy was said that the security guard even made a threatening action to Vipin cum friend with a gun.
Vipin actually made the joke against Tovino and was not a fan of Tovino Thomas’s Narivietta of which he now has claimed it to be the best of the megastar carreers while posting it he was too drunk to realize what he was doing and so the next morning when he found out he rewrote his retraction comment.
To Vipin, it was all quite simple: he really liked Tovino Thomas’ Narivetta, so he recorded it in his post and then felt really great and hours later he was told by some that Mukundan was hiding in a car park in Kakkanad, Kochi, so he was ambushed by Mu while in his own garage if his version were to be believed. The updates Tovino brought out in Nariveta resulted in a wildly successful action movie poster from which Vipin was just basically reciting some features.
“You Betrayed Me!” — Vipin Says Mukundan Lost His Cool Over a Facebook Post
It was a way too casual night that took an aggressive turn when Unniesuddenly appeared from nowhere to ask Vipin why he “betrayed” him with a co-actor. What Vipin has affirmed happened was that a lot of negative words and a physical clash. Vipin tells that Unni pushed him, took off his glasses, and threw them on the ground.
If anything, the claims have only been doing the rounds on the internet; Mukundan still feels the need for self-explanation.
Unni Mukundan Speaks Out: “It’s a Trap. A Dirty Setup.”
In response, Mukundan published a statement along with an application for interim bail, within the time allowed. He contends that the whole story is “made up” and “was a well-planned attempt to damage my name and career.”
Even more interesting is the fact that he claims not only was the scenario set up to harm him but also to spoil his public relation with Tovino Thomas, who according to him is a very good friend.
“The case is more than some agent who turned against. This is treason,” Unni exclaimed.
Police, Cameras, and Contradictions: What Does the Footage Say?
The cops are not just laying the complaint aside. They have filed an FIR, taken the CCTV footage of the apartment complex, and now they are analyzing it. What the video clearly shows is most unusual — and perplexing at the same time.
It is correct that there is an altercation. In fact, Unni is witnessed taking Vipin’s sunglasses. However, it is unclear if a physical attack took place.
Online activities have been unaffected by it. Moreover, hashtags including #JusticeForVipin and #StandWithUnni are the number one trends in Kerala.
A Superstar on the Edge?
It is hard to imagine an inopportune period for Mukundan to be confronted with this.
Having previously done Marco, it was said that he was just about to sign the Pan-India and multiple endorsements. However, according to PR experts, even if the court decides in his favor, which seems to be impossible, they claim that he would get negative publicity.
“Allegations haunt,” a media consultant said. “Even if he is declared not guilty, the titles are already showing him as violent. That is what really counts.”
Additionally, film producers are just watching nervously and wishing for the whole thing to come to an end quietly. Such serious conflicts are not welcomed in the world of big-budget arrangements.
Ernakulam District Court is getting ready to hear Unni Mukundan’s bail application. Fans of Unni Mukundan are also worried if the plea is rejected, there could be a repeat of machination of legal jokes and media gallivanting.Nevertheless, Vipin Kumar maintains his assertion and insists that he is the kind of person “who can tell the truth to anyone, any time, without even a little fear”?The industry? It’s talking. So loudly.
Can a revered action hero be driven over the edge by a simple Facebook post? Did such a thing become possible as a result of a person’s growing stardom that it was deliberately attacked or this the person rising fame attracted the attacks?
Let’s keep our ears open. A new turn of events might give the headline tomorrow.
