Prithviraj’s mother Mallika Sukumaran responds to cyber attack against the actor
Speaking with Malayala Manorama, Mallika Sukumaran emphasized that Prithviraj Sukumaran is being specifically targeted through cyber attacks and pointed out that no organization of actors has come forward to defend him.
The veteran actress said, "When certain attacks are made against Prithviraj, there are little or no organizations that come out to support or defend him. They are openly abusing her online, mostly targeting her.”
He said, “Many people are also unhappy with actor Thilakan’s son Shammi Thilakan moving forward in Malayalam cinema. No organization is willing to give proper clarity even when asked about it. There is a deliberate attempt to erase Prithviraj as an actor from the industry, which has been done by the people of Malayalam cinema.”
The actress concluded that until the authorities take appropriate action against such incidents, she will continue to speak out wherever possible.
His comments come after several online handles allegedly posted rude comments against the actor and his latest release, Vilayath Buddha.
