Last Updated:
Vipin Kumar called Unni Mukundan 'frustrated' and claimed that the actor has not been happy with the projects coming his way, despite the success of Marco in 2024.
Hours after it was reported that Unni Mukundan has been accused of beating up his former manager, the latter has now made some new claims. In a video posted by Asianet News on YouTube, the actor's ex-manager named Vipin Kumar, claimed that Unni Mukundan got irked when he praised Tovino Thomas' recently released movie, Narivetta. The manager claimed that the actor not only used abusive language but also thrashed him.
Vipin Kumar called Unni Mukundan 'frustrated' and claimed that the actor has not been happy with the projects coming his way, despite the success of Marco in 2024.
'He also used abusive language. I have filed a complaint. I had been working with him for six years. I stayed in that job despite facing teasing and such behaviour from him. He has been frustrated in recent times due to various reasons, including the lack of good projects since Marco and the failure of his most recent film, Get-Set Baby, at the box office," the manager said.
'Also, although Sree Gokulam Movies had initially agreed to produce Unni's directorial debut, they later opted out. All of this has contributed to his growing frustration. He often takes out his frustrations on those around him, which is why many people who once worked with him are no longer associated with Unni. How long can I endure all this?" he added.
Earlier today, it was also reported that Vipin Kumar has lodged a complaint with the Info Park Police in Kochi after receiving hospital treatment for his injuries. Police also noted that the relationship between the two has been strained for some time. More details are awaited. However, it should be noted that neither the actor nor his team has reacted to the claims by former manager as of now.
Who Is Unni Mukundan?
Unni has largely worked in the Malayalam film industry. Even though he made his acting debut in 2011 with the Tamil film Seedan, he later appeared in several Malayalam movies. However, Unni's popularity increased after his 2024 movie Marco. Unni was recently seen in Get-Set Baby. He is currently working on his next movie, Mindiyum Paranjum.

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent Makes Comeback On YouTube After Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returns to YouTube months after controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia. Fans hail it as the 'best comeback ever.' Four months after being embroiled in a major controversy, India's Got Latent — the YouTube talent show hosted by comedian Samay Raina — has quietly made a return, albeit on a different channel. The show was pulled down earlier this year after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread backlash for making an inappropriate comment to a contestant involving their parents. The controversial remark led to public outrage and legal repercussions, with multiple FIRs filed against Ranveer, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. Following the incident, Samay Raina took down all episodes from his official channel and issued a public statement expressing his distress. 'Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India's Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time," he wrote. He also confirmed his full cooperation with authorities investigating the matter. Now, months later, the show's segments have reappeared online — not on the original channel but on a newly active page titled India's Got Latent Clips. The revived clips include content from public and members-only episodes, with over 500 videos currently available for viewing. Fans of the show have welcomed its digital return with open arms. Comments like '2025 is the year of comeback," 'Best comeback everrr," and 'Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka" have flooded the clips, suggesting that the core audience has remained loyal despite the controversy. Meanwhile, Samay Raina is currently touring internationally, performing across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. His tour, which began on June 5, will conclude in Sydney on July 20. Whether this quiet return marks a full revival for the show or merely serves as a nostalgic archive remains to be seen — but for now, India's Got Latent seems to be back in the algorithm.
