The manager claimed that the actor not only used abusive language but also thrashed him. Vipin Kumar called Unni Mukundan 'frustrated' and claimed that the actor has not been happy with the projects coming his way, despite the success of Marco in 2024. '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," the manager said. '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?" he added. Earlier today, it was also reported that Vipin Kumar has lodged a complaint with the Info Park Police in Kochi after receiving hospital treatment for his injuries. Police also noted that the relationship between the two has been strained for some time. More details are awaited. However, it should be noted that neither the actor nor his team has reacted to the claims by former manager as of now. Who Is Unni Mukundan? Unni has largely worked in the Malayalam film industry. Even though he made his acting debut in 2011 with the Tamil film Seedan, he later appeared in several Malayalam movies. However, Unni's popularity increased after his 2024 movie Marco. Unni was recently seen in Get-Set Baby. He is currently working on his next movie, Mindiyum Paranjum. First Published:
