Learned to act in films, but not in politics: what Innocent said about entering into active politics

Innocent entered active politics when he was shining in acting. It was much debated too. He had earlier revealed on Kaumudi TV that megastar Mammootty was the main reason for him contesting in the election.

Mammootty is the main reason for contesting in the election. Mammootty informed me one day that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan sir had asked him to call me and ask to contest in the election. I only learned to act in movies, I didn't learn to act in politics. I won the election at that time. First I went to my father's grave. I went there and prayed.'- said Innocent.

He defeated PC Chacko in the Chalakudy constituency for his first time and entered the Lok Sabha. But in 2019 lost to Benny Behanan.
