KOCHI: Actor Vinayakan is outspoken, and is often at the other end of controversy for his opinions on trending matters. Despite the hullabaloo, Vinayakan never shies away from expressing his opinion and often ends up inviting outrage. And now, the actor has revealed his five favourite actors in the film industry.

Vinayakan was talking to private media as part of the movie promotion. When asked about his favourite comedians, Vinayakan responded grimly to the word 'comedian'.

Vinayakan:

“I often get angry seeing people use the word comedian. An urge reaches me to shout expletives at such people carelessly using that word. Comedians, mimicry artists and divisive and it should not be used. We can define everyone as actors. You can ask me about my five favourite actors. It would be apt.

Mammukoya, Oduvil Unnikrishnan, Thilakan, Nedumudi Venu and Shankaradi are my top five actors. These people are not comedians. They are actors.”
