Indian actor Unni Mukundan says he didn't assault former manager
Actor Unni Mukundan has broken his silence over the recent allegations of assault levelled against him by his former manager, Vipin Kumar. In a press conference held in Kochi, Mukundan clarified that there was no physical assault and that the dispute had been misrepresented. "As a friend, I only wanted to confront Vipin about why he was speaking negatively about me. During the heated exchange, I did throw his sunglasses -- that is true," the 'Marco' star said. "But there was no physical contact." Mukundan also said that Kumar, who managed the actor's career for six years, is already facing multiple complaints from within the film industry. "There are cases against Vipin in FEFKA. More than one actress has approached film organisations with complaints about him," he said, adding that Vipin is not a registered member of the Film Employees Federation of Kerala. The controversy erupted following a first information report filed by Kumar on May 26, accusing Mukundan of physical assault and issuing threats during a confrontation at the basement parking of Mukundan's apartment complex in Kochi. "He called me for a meeting. When I arrived, he shouted at me, punched and hit me. Another person had to step in to stop him," Kumar told reporters. Kumar claimed that the incident may have been fueled by Mukundan's disappointment over the lukewarm industry response to his recent film Marco. "After the movie's release, he was disheartened that top directors weren't reaching out. He vented that frustration on me," Kumar alleged. In response, Mukundan has filed a counter-complaint with the Kerala Director General of Police (DGP), stating that he has been targeted unfairly and maliciously. "Two weeks ago, I received a call from an unknown number. The caller named several people, including Vipin. That was when I realised something was wrong," the actor said. The actor also addressed a broader pattern of controversies surrounding his career. He also hinted that there might be a larger network behind the current controversy. Reaffirming his respect for his colleagues, Mukundan said he maintains a strong relationship with fellow actor Tovino Thomas, despite rumours. "I have never said anything about Tovino. We are very close friends," he clarified. Mukundan expressed his deep gratitude to the people of Kerala for supporting his journey in cinema and added, "I've worked hard to bring out my films. I will continue to do so with honesty." The incident comes just months after Unni Mukundan stepped down from his role as Treasurer of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) in January this year, citing mental health and professional strain. His resignation occurred shortly after AMMA's executive committee, including President Mohanlal, tendered their resignations in the wake of the Justice K. Hema Committee Report, which exposed widespread challenges faced by women in the Malayalam film industry.

Unni Mukundan dismisses assault allegation, files complaint against Vipin
KOCHI: Two days after Vipin Kumar, a Changanassery resident, raised allegations that actor Unni Mukundan assaulted him for praising Tovino's film 'Narivetta', the actor, on Saturday, said that the allegations of wrongdoing against him were fabricated and that he has not assaulted anyone. Clarifying the issue, he said that he had a conversation with his former manager Vipin. 'When I came to know that he was spreading false news about me and other artists, I questioned it. I received complaints about him from other artists and industry professionals as well. The conversation was emotional. I threw his sunglasses during the discussion. But I haven't abused him. It is evident from the video clips that are being circulated,' he said.

Ernakulam Court disposes anticipatory bail plea of actor Unni Mukundan in assault case filed by former manager
The charges listed in the FIR include voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint, criminal intimidation, and obscene acts. Counsel for Unni Mukundan submitted that the allegations of physical assault made by the complainant are entirely baseless, malicious, and a figment of imagination, intended solely to defame the actor and subject him to mental distress and public humiliation. The defence further claimed that the allegations form part of a conspiracy. The Infopark Police registered the case against the actor on Tuesday, based on a complaint lodged by his former manager. In the complaint, Vipin Kumar alleged that Unni Mukundan summoned him to the parking area of the DLF apartment complex in Kakkanad, where he verbally abused and physically assaulted him. Vipin further claimed that the actor has been experiencing prolonged emotional distress and has faced frequent ridicule. He alleged that despite the success of his most recent film, Marco, Unni has not received any promising film offers, and many of his close associates have since distanced themselves from him.
