Malayalam actor Baiju Santhosh has strongly refuted viral social media reports that claimed a verbal altercation occurred between him and superstar Mohanlal during the recent AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) general body meeting.

In an interview with Manorama Online, Baiju addressed the speculation, calling it “baseless and misleading.”

The 'Nunakkuzhi' actor said that there are some reports making the rounds on the internet and he doesn't understand why people spread fake news without knowing the exact truth. He said. “There is absolutely no truth to the claims being made.”

What really happened at the meeting


Baiju explained that this was his first time attending the AMMA general body meeting in three years, and he had arrived late. By the time he entered the venue, Mohanlal had already delivered his address. Importantly, Baiju stated he was unaware that the outgoing committee—led by Mohanlal as President—had already decided to step down.

“I was not informed about the decision prior to my speech. In fact, I wished for Mr. Mohanlal to continue in his role, Baiju said. He also revealed that he didn’t know that Mohanlal had expressed a desire to step down.

“My words were misinterpreted”


The controversy appears to have stemmed from Baiju’s remarks during the meeting, which were taken out of context and misrepresented on social platforms.
“I asked the members, ‘If you support this committee, please raise your hands. Isn’t it good to continue as things are now? Let this committee continue for another two years.’ I was clearly speaking in support of the current committee,” Baiju clarified.


He expressed disappointment that his comments and Mohanlal’s response were distorted online. This, according to the actor, has led to several misunderstandings.

Baiju asserted that he has immense respect towards his 'Lucifer' co-star and also said that there was no disagreement between them.
