“Mammootty has always been seen as someone who has taken Malayalam cinema to new heights because of his hard work over the last five decades and those who know him know the stuff he is made of. Venugopal said, we condemn the current cyber attack on the highly respected actor.

The legendary actor has come under attack over his 2022 film 'Puzhu', which has been considered anti-Brahminism.

“Every Keralite knows Mammootty's qualifications, who he is and what his ideology is. The actor has conducted himself in an extremely respectable manner, hence, anyone who tries to create unrest now will have to retreat in a hurry. Keralites will hold him tight and close,” Venugopal said.

The 72-year-old actor has been delivering spectacularly successful films for the last few years and remains the biggest icon in Kerala.
