Unni Mukundan opens up about his conversation with Tovino Thomas The actor dismissed rumours suggesting he had a problem with Tovino Thomas or the film Narivetta. He called those claims "propaganda" aimed at damaging both his and the latter's reputations. Unni said he had personally called Tovino to clear the air and that their friendship remains unaffected. He said, "I personally called Tovino and explained everything — he understood the situation. We've been friends since we entered the industry and share a strong bond. Tovino was someone who celebrated the success of 'Marco' with me. No false rumour can destroy that friendship." Unni's allegations against Vipin Kumar Unni alleged that Vipin has a history of complaints against him from within the film industry. He said a prominent actress had filed an ICC complaint against him and that issues also arose during the promotions of Marco. Unni claimed that Vipin often tried to take credit for the team's efforts and that he had stepped in to resolve matters at that time. He also mentioned having supported Vipin during a family medical crisis, offering financial help when Vipin's father needed treatment. He expressed disappointment that, despite his support, Vipin was now allegedly trying to blackmail him. Unni clarified that Vipin was never his personal manager. According to him, Vipin only handled promotional activities and worked with several actors across the industry. Unni's appeal to the public Unni ended his statement by urging the public not to jump to conclusions based on rumours. He said it was easy to spread misleading stories about celebrities, but the truth often goes unheard. He asked everyone to verify facts before forming opinions.

The incident reportedly began when the latter shared a positive review of Tovino Thomas' film Narivetta on social media. While only one side of the story has been made public, let's first take a look at the post that reportedly triggered the fallout. What did Vipin Kumar write about Narivetta? Unni Mukundan's manager Vipin Kumar started by calling Narivetta "an incredible piece of craft." He noted that every department worked seamlessly and expressed pride in director Anuraj Manohar's growth since his debut with Ishq. Vipin also lauded Tovino Thomas and called his performance as Varghese mature and compelling. He mentioned their long association since 7th Day and admired his growth as an actor and a star. In his words, "And then, my dear Tovino. Having been with him since 7th Day (2014), I'm overjoyed to see how much he's grown — both as an actor and a star. His dedication to every role, his commitment to the craft, and his willingness to go the extra mile for every film is admirable. We've shared this journey together, and as both a friend and colleague, this is a proud moment."

In a video shared by Asianet News, Vipin stated that the actor also used abusive language during the altercation. Vipin explained that despite facing verbal mistreatment in the past, he continued working with Unni out of professional commitment. However, he pointed out that the actor had recently grown more irritable, reportedly due to personal and career-related setbacks. These included the lack of strong film offers after Marco and the commercial failure of his latest release Get-Set Baby. He also mentioned that a planned directorial debut by Unni was dropped by Sree Gokulam Movies, which may have added to his frustrations. Though Vipin made this claim, the original announcement of the project is still visible on the production house's official Instagram page. Vipin explains why he made the post about Narivetta Vipin claimed that his social media post praising Narivetta, a film starring Tovino Thomas, triggered the entire incident.

In his words, "As part of Narivetta's promotions, I posted a note on social media praising the movie. Unni did not like it. He phoned me that night and fired me from the manager position. I said ok. It's after that that he came over and assaulted me." As of now, Unni Mukundan and his team have not released an official statement regarding the incident. The case remains under police investigation.

‘Unni Mukundan assaulted me for praising Tovino Thomas' Narivetta': Former manager alleges actor is ‘frustrated' about post-Marco career
Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan has come under fire after his former manager accused him of assault. According to the complainant, Unni physically assaulted him within the premises of his apartment complex and used abusive language. A complaint has been filed at the Infopark Police Station, and according to the latest reports, a case has been registered against the actor. Vipin Kumar, who claims to have worked with Unni for six years, alleged that the actor came to his apartment complex, demanded that he come down from his flat, and assaulted him in the parking lot. In a video posted by Asianet News on YouTube, he is heard telling the media, 'He also used abusive language. I have filed a complaint. I had been working with him for six years. I stayed in that job despite facing teasing and such behaviour from him. He has been frustrated in recent times due to various reasons, including the lack of good projects since Marco and the failure of his most recent film, Get-Set Baby, at the box office. Also, although Sree Gokulam Movies had initially agreed to produce Unni's directorial debut, they later opted out. All of this has contributed to his growing frustration. He often takes out his frustrations on those around him, which is why many people who once worked with him are no longer associated with Unni. How long can I endure all this?' Although Vipin alleged that Sree Gokulam Movies withdrew from the Unni Mukundan project, the announcement post is still available on the production company's official Instagram handle, casting doubt on his claim. Vipin then went a step further and alleged that one of his recent social media posts praising Tovino Thomas' Narivetta angered Unni and prompted him to carry out the assault. 'I am a promotion consultant who has been working in the industry for 18 years. I handle PR work for other movies and actors as well. I have worked on around 500 films. As part of Narivetta's promotions, I posted a note on social media praising the movie. Unni did not like it. He phoned me that night and fired me from the manager position. I said ok. It's after that that he came over and assaulted me,' Vipin added. He also claimed that the actor broke his glasses by stomping on them. A post shared by Sree Gokulam Movies (@sreegokulammoviesofficial) A post shared by Vipin Kumar V (@vvipink) According to Mathrubhumi, he approached the police after seeking medical treatment at a hospital. The complainant and the actor had a strained professional relationship for quite some time, the publication reported, citing police sources. Unni Mukundan is yet to comment on the matter. Following the massive success of Marco, which was marketed as 'India's most violent movie yet', Unni rose to national fame. Grossing Rs 102.55 crore worldwide, the Haneef Adeni directorial became the actor's most successful film. While Marco sparked discussions about its glorification of on-screen violence and gore, there was also a concerted effort on social media to portray Unni as a rising superstar. However, his next film, Get-Set Baby, failed at the box office, casting a long shadow over Unni's supposed stardom.
