The character 'Advocate Mukundan Unni'

Vineeth Sreenivasan, in an interview with Onmanorama, said the first shot might remind everyone of the character, but there is no other connection between these two characters. Vineeth added that Mukundan Unni played in this movie resorts to devious methods to attain his goal.

 

Facebook blocked Advocate Mukundan Unni's page

Advocate Mukundan Unni's initial post was controversial. Mukundan Unni wrote, 'Me and my dead father', while posting a photo on his Facebook page.

However, the character was back on the scene a day later.

 

Humorous and light-hearted posts

The characters would post several hilarious or mischievous posts on their social media pages. For example, one post showed Mukundan Unni wielding a gun and saying, “Today morning I said I will be back. It's evening now and I am back,” said Unni.
