'Four young Malayalam heroes will leave us soon, this is harsh reality'

Malayalam film director Santhivila Dinesh responded to the news of rampant drug menace in the film industry. While speaking to a YouTube channel, Dinesh made a harsh prediction about the impending death of four young actors in Malayalam, who are allegedly addicted to drugs.

SANTHIVILA DINESH:

“According to the information I have received recently, at the latest, four deaths will occur in Malayalam cinema. The four are youngsters and heroes in movies. All of them are badly addicted to synthetic drugs.

Their bones and teeth are rotting away. As per the news, they are barely surviving with the help of the fortunes amassed. News channels are going frenzy, showing news of Mammootty seeking medical treatment. It is normal for a 74-year-old to get age-related ailments. The irony is that no media is seriously discussing the young actors who are withering away. I’m not revealing the names of those four stars. They are already on their last resort, splashing money to survive. It won’t help them in the long run.”
