Actor
Unni Mukundan
has once again found himself at the centre of a growing controversy. As the Infopark police prepare to file a chargesheet in the alleged assault case involving his former PRO and manager Vipin Kumar, newer revelations and arrests have only added to the intrigue — particularly regarding the people who claim to represent the actor, according to the reports.
What we know so far
As reported by Telangana Today website, Unni Mukundan was recently questioned at his Kochi flat regarding allegations made by Vipin Kumar, who claimed the actor assaulted him over a social media post praising Tovino Thomas's film 'Narivetta', which came shortly after Unni's own film underperformed.
Vipin alleges he was pushed, kicked, verbally abused, and had to seek hospital treatment before filing a police complaint.
He also took the matter to FEFKA (Film Employees Federation of Kerala).
Unni Mukundan, in his defence, has categorically denied the assault, calling the complaint 'malicious and baseless.' He admitted to throwing a mirror in frustration, but denied any physical violence. The actor also denied making negative remarks about Tovino Thomas.

Alleged new manager in trouble?
As reported by the website Telangana Today, Rincy, a YouTuber and Unni's alleged current so-called manager, was arrested after police recovered 22.5 grams of MDMA from a flat in Palachuvad.
The narcotics case is being handled independently but has thrown the spotlight back on the chaotic nature of the actor's inner circle.

He urged fans and media to beware of impersonators and 'false representation.'

These blockages can rupture and form clots, cutting off circulation and damaging heart tissue. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or pain in the upper body. In some cases, especially in women, symptoms may be less typical. Prompt medical attention is crucial. If someone suspects a heart attack, they should immediately call emergency services, as rapid treatment can save lives and reduce heart damage. Aasif Khan's Journey in Entertainment Khan's career began with background roles in Bollywood films such as Ready (2011) and Agneepath (2012). He later transitioned into more prominent roles, earning recognition for his portrayal of Ganesh in Panchayat, a comedy-drama series on Prime Video. The show features an ensemble cast including Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, and Neena Gupta. In Paatal Lok, he played the role of Kabir M, a character linked to a major criminal investigation. His role as Anas Ahmad in Netflix's Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega further established his presence in digital storytelling. More recently, Khan appeared in films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017), Pagglait (2021), and the horror-comedy Kakuda (2024). His last theatrical release was The Bhootni, a film in the same genre.

On the professional front, Ananya will next be seen as the female lead in "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," opposite Kartik Aaryan.

Welcome to the TMMTMTTM family Jaggu dada @apnabhidu." Kartik rightfully gave Jackie the title of the 'OG Hero" as he introduced him as a member of the cast. Jackie made his acting debut with Subhash Ghai's 1983 release "Hero". "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" marks Kartik and Ananya's second on-screen collaboration after their 2019 release "Pati Patni Aur Woh". Touted to be a romantic entertainer, the project is being made under the direction of Sameer Vidwans. Kartik is presently filming his much-anticipated next in Rajasthan. Before this, Kartik and Ananya shot "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" in Croatia. As Ananya wrapped up the Croatia schedule, she and Kartik marked the occasion by grooving to the "Dheeme Dheeme" track from "Pati Patni Aur Woh". Backed by Karan Johar in association with Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" is expected to get a theatrical release on February 13 next year.
