Actor Unni Mukundan rejects allegations against him
Actor Unni Mukundan on Saturday rejected allegations that he had assaulted his manager. The Infopark police in Kochi had on May 26, 2025 booked a case against the actor following allegations of assault raised by Vipin Kumar, who had claimed to be the actor's manager. According to the first information report (FIR), the alleged assault took place in the basement parking of an apartment complex at Kakkanad where the petitioner resided. The actor admitted that he did throw Mr. Kumar's sunglasses, though he never assaulted him physically. The case is fabricated and the allegations emerged from 'personal vengeance', he alleged. He also denied allegations by Mr. Kumar that he had spoken against actor Tovino Thomas or his latest movie Narivetta. Such allegations were made to create a rift between both of us, he said. The actor alleged that two actors in the industry had faced bitter experience with Mr. Vipin.

Actor Unni Mukundan refutes assault charges, seeks anticipatory bail
KOCHI: Hours after he was booked for the alleged assault of a former associate, Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan on Tuesday denied the 'absolutely false and untrue' allegations. The Infopark police registered the case against Unni on the complaint of Vipin Kumar, a Changanassery native who claimed to be the actor's former manager. Vipin alleged that Unni verbally abused and assaulted him for praising Narivetta, starring Tovino Thomas, on social media. Unni, who moved an anticipatory bail plea in the Ernakulam district court, termed the allegations an attempt to 'threaten and harass him for undue gain and benefits'. Vipin told reporters that after seeing his post, Unni contacted him and said he was dismissing him as his manager. He said the actor asked him to come to the parking area of an apartment complex in Kakkanad where he verbally abused and physically assaulted him. Dismissing the entire narrative by Vipin as baseless, the Marco actor said, 'I have always maintained a professional relationship with my colleagues, but he (Vipin) is extremely poisonous. Every word he said is a complete lie.' Unni accused Vipin of spreading malicious rumours about him. 'At one point, he even contacted a female actor and urged her to marry me, which triggered a major confrontation between us. That was when I decided to meet him in person,' he said. 'There was no physical attack at any point as he claims. The allegations are absolutely false and untrue. The area where the incident allegedly occurred is fully covered by CCTV cameras,' he said. Unni said he had never appointed Vipin as his manager. Vipin was never appointed manager: Unni Mukundan 'Vipin first approached me in 2018 when I was planning to produce my first film under my own banner, but he was never formally appointed as my personal manager,' he said.

The accused allegedly slapped Kumar in the face and tried to hit him again when he tried to escape at the basement parking of an apartment complex in Eachamukk, Kakkanad. He also threatened to kill him and used slurs against him besides breaking his glasses. In a detailed Facebook post, Mukundan said there was never a physical attack as Kumar alleges. He stated that these allegations are consistently false and emphasised that the place where the incident took place is under CCTV surveillance, which should be checked before reaching any conclusion. Mukundan said Kumar approached him in 2018, but he was never officially appointed as a personal manager. He added that he came across discussions and complaints about Kumar, which were slanderous in nature, from filmmakers, including renowned directors. The actor said Kumar engaged in activities that crossed boundaries in a way that will never be forgiven as a work partner and a friend. Mukundan claimed that in the presence of his close friend Vishnu Unnithan, Kumar apologised for all the mistakes. The actor said since Kumar had access to his digital data, he asked him to apologise in writing, but instead, Kumar spread false and threatening allegations on social media and news portals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He further alleged that Kumar intervened to reduce his chances in the industry by telling people that he was busy and by spreading rumours. The police registered the case under sections 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 126(2) (wrongful restraint), 296(b) (utterance of obscene songs or words in public places), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), and 324 (mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Case against actor Unni Mukundan for alleged assault on his manager
The Infopark police in Kochi on Monday registered a case against actor Unni Mukundan for allegedly assaulting his manager. The petitioner was identified as Vipin Kumar. According to the First Information Report (FIR), the alleged assault took place in the basement parking of an apartment complex in Kakkanad, where the petitioner lived, around 11.30 a.m. on Monday. The alleged assault occurred allegedly over Mr. Kumar's positive review of a recent Malayalam film in which Mr. Mukundan's contemporary played the lead character. Mr. Mukundan summoned Mr. Kumar to the basement parking and assaulted him, and restrained him when he tried to flee, besides issuing a death threat and verbally assaulting him, the FIR said. The police registered the case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 126(2) (wrongful restraint), 296(b) (utterance of obscene songs or words in public places), 351(2) (criminal intimidation) and 324 (mischief). The police are likely to summon Mr. Mukundan for recording his statement. Mr. Kumar petitioned the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) while Mr. Mukundan petitioned the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). 'The working secretary has been asked to hear both the parties to get clarity on the incident. Since Mr. Mukundan is also involved with AMMA, we may also have to engage with that organisation. Our steering committee is likely to come up with a report in a couple of days,' said B. Unnikrishnan, general secretary of FEFKA. Actor Baburaj, member of the AMMA ad-hoc committee, said that the organisation had received a petition from Mr. Mukundan raising serious professional allegations against Mr. Kumar. He was not sure if Mr. Kumar had petitioned the AMMA. Mr. Baburaj said they would listen to both the parties.
