Denial of physical assault allegations

In a detailed statement posted on social media, Unni Mukundan denied any physical altercation with Vipin. “There was no physical attack at any point of time as he claims, and the allegations put forth are absolutely false and untrue,” Unni asserted. He further explained that although he did confront Vipin about certain issues, the confrontation never escalated into violence. According to Unni, Vipin even apologized for his mistakes in front of their mutual friend, Vishnu Unnithan. Unni also pointed out that the location of the alleged incident was under CCTV surveillance, encouraging everyone to verify the footage before believing the accusations.

Accusations of gossip and professional misconduct

He revealed that several filmmakers had complained about Vipin’s gossiping, spreading rumors, and meddling in their personal and professional life. Unni Mukundan wrote, “I started getting many complaints regarding Vipin for gossiping and loose talk, from new and reputed filmmakers. He even went to the extent of contacting a female actress and asking her to marry me, which had led to a major altercation between me and him. Every word spoken by this individual is an absolute lie. I deny all allegations. I’m an easy target; he is threatening and harassing me for some undue gain and benefits.”

Unni Mukundan concluded by saying, “I believe in truth, though I may be subjected to all sort of victimization and harassment.”
