'Marco' fame Unni Mukundan accused by ex-manager for alleged assault

Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan is in the spotlight once again, this time over serious allegations made by his former manager, Vipin Kumar. A police complaint has been filed in Kochi, where Kumar has accused the actor of both physical assault and verbal abuse, according to recent reports.

The incident allegedly took place at Mukundan’s residence in Kochi, where the altercation is said to have occurred. Kumar sought medical attention after the alleged episode and subsequently approached the police. While an FIR has not yet been registered, authorities have recorded a detailed statement and initiated a preliminary inquiry.

Sources familiar with the situation say tensions between Mukundan and Kumar had been building for some time. The current dispute reportedly stems from a social media post that featured a photograph of another actor, which Vipin is said to have shared. This appears to have triggered the confrontation.

Though Mukundan has not responded publicly to the allegations, law enforcement officials confirm that both parties had a strained dynamic leading up to the incident. Investigators are currently verifying the timeline and nature of events as described in the complaint.

This is not the first time the actor’s name has surfaced in a legal matter. Mukundan previously faced a sexual harassment complaint in 2018, which was dismissed by the Kerala High Court in 2023. That case had remained in court for several years before it was ultimately quashed.

Mukundan, who began his acting journey with a Tamil film in 2011, has primarily featured in Malayalam cinema. His recent film, Marco, attracted significant attention and widened his audience base.

As the current situation unfolds, legal experts note that the police will likely wait for additional evidence before moving forward with a formal case. The matter is being closely observed by both the public and the film industry. Further developments are expected as the investigation progresses and both parties present their versions of events.
