Actor Manikuttan cleared the air about rumours of him being trapped along with a film crew in Jaisalmer, now caught in the drone attacks of Pakistan. The actor confirmed that it was not him but rather another actor sharing the same name who might have been caught in the Rajasthan city.
Manikuttan announced that he is currently in New York for a stage show.
"I am not the Manikuttan mentioned in this news. Dear friends, I am currently in New York with Shweta Menon, Rahul Madhav, Malavika, Srinath, Reshma Raghavendra, Mahesh Kunjumon, and Anoop Kovalam in connection with the Cine Star Night 2025 program. This post is about fake news that appeared on a channel. I believe that accurate news will be disseminated with clarity.’
Manikuttan also shared a poster of the event in New York and a picture with other participating stars.
The Malayalam film shooting crew in Jaisalmer was in crisis following the Pakistani shelling. A crew of 200 people stopped shooting and returned to Kerala. The crew, including the actors of the film 'Half', which is being described as the first vampire action movie in Malayalam, has already started their return journey to Kerala.
