Past Legal Controversy

This is not the first time Unni Mukundan has been involved in legal issues. In 2018, he was accused of sexual harassment by a woman who claimed that he molested her during a meeting at his Edappally residence, where they were supposed to discuss a film project. Mukundan denied the allegations, calling them fabricated and motivated by an extortion attempt.

The case was eventually dismissed by the Kerala High Court in 2023 after the complainant informed the court that the matter had been resolved through a mutual settlement.
