Meppadiyan was a theatrical success starring Unni Mukundan. But as soon as the film was released, the main criticism was that Meppadiyan was trying to cover up Sangh Parivar politics. Unni Mukundan, who is also the producer of the film, said that Sevabharati’s ambulance was shown in a series of scenes and portrayed a Muslim character as the villain of the Hindu hero. In an interview to a private online media, Unni Mukundan said that if you go to the hospital with Seva Bharati’s ambulance, you will not have to make a film worth Rs 6 crore to talk about politics.
Unni Mukundan said
There is no need to spend Rs 6 crore to make a political statement and make a film, it is not enough to post it on Facebook. Clarity is important in making any political statement. Anyone who has seen this movie clearly knows which of these is politics. Instead of discussing the good things of the movie Meppadiyan, the hero went to the temple and talked about the Muslim villain, the Christian villain and the Sevabharati ambulance show. All the members of this community live in Kerala. For me these controversies were not the subject. For the first week or so, there was no merit in the film. When you go to Sabarimala, you can not put white and white except black and black. After watching this movie, a mother spoke with tears in her eyes. The effort taken by a group of young people to make a film was not discussed at all.
Sevabharathi’s Ambulance Meppadiyan Sevabharathi is an organization in Kerala. They have no terrorist program. If you stop at Eratupetta Road, you will see Seva Bharati’s car going back and forth four times. When we tell the story of our society, we can not say that they are not in the society. I do not know if there is a politics in it. If you go to the hospital with Seva Bharati’s ambulance, what politics is in it?
