Mammootty unfazed by criticisms for supporting Jallikattu protests

Megastar Mammootty had earlier voiced his support for the pro Jallikattu protests in Tamil Nadu. He released a video in which he said, “Without depending on any political party, without the support of any leader, without gender, religious and caste and differences without any sort of violence, lakhs of people are protesting in Tamilnadu. This struggle of Tamils is a role model for India.”

However, a section of Malayalis criticised the actor for keeping silent on various issues in Kerala and for supporting the protests happening in Tamil Nadu. Some even went to the extent of calling this as a publicity stunt as his new Tamil movie Peranbu is about to release soon. But Mammootty like always is unfazed by the talks around. The actor has once again supported the movement in Tamil Nadu and compared it with the usual strikes in Kerala. He was of the opinion that Malayalis can never even imagine about such peaceful and united protests.

Mammootty said, “Whenever we protest against any issue in Kerala, half the people will be happily sitting home and criticizing the others. Our protests are mostly centered around damaging KSRTC buses and other properties. In our State, we saw people who even opposed the protests by the fishermen. Jallikattu is not torturing the bulls. Unlike the western countries where animals are brutally killed, Jallikattu is a sport of heroism and gallantry. It is an emotion for Tamil people.”

Mammootty also added that he was amazed by the unity of the people in Tamil Nadu who are protesting without the support of any leaders.

Social media against Nivin Pauly for his post on the Jallikattu issue

What we saw in Tamil Nadu in the past week for the pro Jallikattu protest was something unprecedented in Indian history. People especially youngsters took to the streets and assembled in large numbers demanding to legalize Jallikattu and the amendment of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

People from the Tamil film industry also joined in the protest. Tamil actors association Nadigar Sangam organised a peaceful protest with stars like Rajinikanth, Ajith, Suriya, Trisha, Sivakarthikeyan etc taking part in the protest held in the Nadigar Sangam grounds. Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Nayanthara joined the protests with the students in Marina Beach, Chennai.

Megastar Mammootty was the first from Malayalam film industry to voice support for the protests. Soon actors like Jayaram, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Aju Varghese and Nivin Pauly also supported the pro Jallikattu revolt. Apparently, the Mollywood stars support for the revolt in Tamil Nadu has not gone well with the netizens.

Nivin Pauly’s post in Facebook reads,

United we stand, Divided we fall.. The images from Marina, Chennai reminds me of Ayutha Ezhuthu..Feels so good to see the unity and discipline the crowds are maintaining.. Wishing the issue gets settled amicably.. Keep the culture.. Save the tradition!
#justiceforjallikattu

Netizens have questioned where these actors were when many such issues happened in our State. They claim that these stars are announcing their support now to strengthen their market in Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile some others have supported the stars as they believe that it’s up to the actors wish whether to talk or not about a particular issue.
