Veteran actress Bhagyalakshmi slammed Mohanlal for supporting Dileep, who's been acquitted in 2017 rape case. She called Mohanlal 'insensitive', 'thoughtless' for making a cameo and distributing posters for Dileep's film 'Bha Bha Ba'. She added, "When someone with that kind of influence does this, what message is being sent to survivors?" She added, "This isn't about cinema...It's about ethics."
