'Some people are spreading the rumour that I am using religion to advance my career' - Unni Mukundan

Actor Unni Mukundan talks to The New Indian Express about the allegation that he is using the Hindu religion to advance his career. He says that people are using social media to spread false information about him and his films. He also makes it clear that he has never claimed to be the next 'Ayyappan'. Unni Mukundan also says that doing the movie 'Malikappuram' did not bring him much profit.

We rarely have intellectually high actors. Luckily, there are a few male actors, but when it comes to females, they become extremely scarce. This guy deserves a better place both in politics and in films. In both fields, he can contribute to society. We Keralites are proud that he belongs to our state. Keep going, Unni Mukundan!

THE QUESTIONS ARE ABSURD IF A HERO PLAYS A DON OR MAFIA IS IT TRUE THE HERO IS REALLY A DON OR MAFIA

[@Happy_7998]

I had been observing Unni’s Instagram handle for a while and it was evident that once the Jai Ganesh poster had been released a lot of people were commenting shit on that claiming it to be another hindutva movie .How do you get to that conclusion by just seeing a movies poster ? Why isn’t any hatred comments posted on Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil poster starring Prithvi and Nikhila ?Is it because Nikhil is hardcore Communist ?Or is it because Prithvi is the casted in it ? It’s pathetic to tarnish a person and his career coz he is following different political ideology from yours. Let him follow whatever ideology he wants to follow .As far as he isn’t engaged in terrorist activity or causing any damage to the society why would anyone question his political inclination?

[@Mmt-s1n]

[@liliastan4425]

[@lakshmitr8190]

Nobody cares about the effects of their words.. just talk shit all the time if they don't like the person or his ideology.. and we call ourselves progressive. Nonsense

[@annaalina616]

Because he is using politics and religion to be in movies.plain simple. None criticises Suresh Gopi movies even though he is BJP apart from the usual political cyber attacks common to any politician.Because he proved to be good actor.So it's not about his ideologies or beliefs. The same goes with Prithviraj and Nikhila.Coming to Unni,he doesn't have an impressive memorable acting role in his entire career. And when he realised the political support he can get from BJP after that secret agent issue he is using that ,pointing out every negative comments against him or movies on a religious angle .As for Jai Ganesh,he was the one who announced this movie in Ganesholsavam speech when it was supposed to be a religious event and when this was criticised he started innocenlty claiming he was attacked for his belief.

Greetings from Nepal. Unni is an incarnation like our PM Modi. Our nation Bharat was ruined by Gandi family in seventy years since independent economically and culturally. Now we are fifth economic power and our culture is taught worldwide thanks to Modi. Likewise Unni could have made millions if he had not opened his mouth about wrong things happening in our society. Lets all unite and work hard to make Bharat number one so that our coming generation will live with a dignified life with proud.
