Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan, accused of assaulting manager, has denied allegations, and claimed conspiracy to ruin his career
Noted Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan has been booked for allegedly assaulting a man who claims to be his professional manager, police said in Kochi on May 27, 2025 (Tuesday).
In his complaint, Vipin Kumar alleged that the actor slapped him in the face for recording a review of a film featuring another actor. Meanwhile, Mukundan has denied the allegations against him.
The incident allegedly occurred in the basement parking area of an apartment complex in Kakkanad on Monday, police said.
Kumar also alleged that Mukundan used abusive language and threatened to kill him, police added. The Marco actor has been booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 126(2) (wrongful restraint), 296(b) (obscene acts and songs), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), 324(4), and 324(5) (both dealing with mischief), police said.
They added that an FIR has been registered and an investigation is underway. Meanwhile, the actor publicly denied all allegations made by Kumar, saying that Kumar was never officially appointed as his personal manager.
"There was no physical attack at any point of time as he claims and the allegations put forth are absolutely false and untrue. The whole place is under CCTV scanning. Please verify the same before arriving at any conclusion," Mukundan said in a Facebook post.
