Chennai, April 26
Actor Unni Mukundan has now shared on his Instagram stories, a warning that his fan club, the All Kerala Unni Mukundan Fans & Welfare Association (AKUMFA), has issued to certain fan pages that were allegedly spreading false and misleading information about him.
The post put out by the actor's fan club read, "We have been repeatedly condemning the malicious activities of certain fan pages which are spreading false and misleading information about Unni Mukundan. We request these pages to avoid making videos of Unni Mukundan and female co-actors.
"Despite our repeated explicit request to refrain from linking his name with other actresses, this despicable behaviour is still ongoing which is totally unacceptable, disrespectful. We feel (it) is damaging to Unni Mukundan's reputation as well," the post said.
The actor's fan club further said, "If you are a genuine well wisher, then its a kind request to stop coming up with such videos. If you really wish to support Unni Mukundan, then do it with supporting his films and craft.
Please avoid bringing his personal life to limelight with wrong and misleading information. Don't fill up the social media platform with fake personal stories and link ups."
Urging those manning these fan pages to stop their malicious activities immediately, the fan club said, "We urge these pages to cease their malicious activities immediately. This time, we are putting up this post as a final warning. We will not hesitate to take necessary actions (sic) against those responsible for this harrassment. We are tagging the concerned pages, please refrain from what you are doing with immediate effect - Team AKUMFWA."
On the work front, Unni Mukundan was last seen in 'Get Set Baby', which was directed by Vinay Govind. The film, apart from Unni Mukundan, featured Nikhila Vimal and Chemban Vinod Jose in the lead. The film had cinematography by Alex J Pulical and music by Sam C.S. The actor will next be seen in director Arun Bose's Mindiyum Paranjum, featuring Aparna Balamurali in the lead along with him.

Finally! These toxic fan pages need to be called out. Shipping real people is so creepy and disrespectful. Let's just appreciate Unni Mukundan for his amazing acting skills instead! 🙌
I love how his fan club is handling this professionally. Some "fans" cross all limits with their fake stories. Hope this warning puts an end to it!
While I agree with the sentiment, I wonder if this will actually stop the trolls. Maybe the fan club should work with Instagram to get these pages removed rather than just warnings.
Omg yes! I've seen so many fake stories about Unni and various actresses. It's so cringe 😬 Let the man live his life and focus on his amazing performances in films like 'Get Set Baby'!
Respectful criticism here - I feel the fan club could have handled this privately first before going public. But I understand their frustration after repeated violations.
As a longtime fan, this makes me so happy! Real fans support through his work, not by spreading gossip. Can't wait for Mindiyum Paranjum! â¤ï¸
