Vipin, on the other hand, refused to back down, standing firm that Unni had verbally and physically assaulted him. He also claimed that the actor had a 'bad history' and that he had 'misbehaved with many people'. According to the publication, he also stated that Unni was wrong in believing there was no footage of the attack and that the police are looking into CCTV footage. Vipin filed a complaint against Unni in FEFKA and AMMA. Both film bodies are trying to resolve the issue.
On Monday evening, Vipin filed a police complaint against Unni, alleging that he was beaten up by the actor in the parking lot of his Kochi apartment. He claimed an altercation broke out between them over a post praising Tovino Thomas' latest release Narivetta. Unni has since admitted to breaking Vipin's sunglasses but denied physical assault. He also claimed the fight between them was over rumours being spread by Vipin, claiming that his friendship with Tovino hasn't been affected by this.
