Veteran Malayalam actress Bhagyalakshmi took to social media to voice her views on actor Dileep, who was acquitted in a 2017 rape case, and his films. Criticising Dileep's film 'Bha Bha Ba', she stated that films can't be solely "rescued" with extensive PR efforts. She wrote, "Even after spending so much money, you couldn't save Ettan's [Dileep] films, right?"
