A humorous incident that took place during the audio launch of the film ED-Extra Decent has gone viral on social media. Actress Grace Antony, in a hurry, entered the venue while greeting people in the front row. However, while making her way through the crowd, she failed to notice actor Suraj Venjaramoodu, who was seated in the front row. Though Suraj extended his hand to greet her, Grace, unaware, moved ahead. But she quickly turned back and shook his hand.

The video of the incident quickly went viral on social media. Grace Antony playfully borrowed a line from Suraj Venjaramoodu’s own movie, commenting, "Idu angane onum allada" (this is not like that!) in response to the moment.

In reply, Suraj jokingly commented, "It's not just me, Tovino was also there." Tovino, in turn, quipped, "After the Basil incident, I don’t shake hands with anyone," adding to the humour of the situation.

This wasn’t the first time such an incident occurred. Earlier, during the closing ceremony of the Super League football final in Kozhikode, actor-director Basil Joseph attempted to greet a player but was overlooked. The player ended up shaking hands with actor Prithviraj, who was nearby. Fans quickly seized on the irony, mocking Basil, who had previously made fun of his friend Tovino for a similar situation.

Before this, at the Marana Mass film’s pooja, a similar incident took place when the priest, while extending the aarti, failed to notice Tovino, who had reached out his hand. Basil, who witnessed the moment, laughed and teased, creating another viral video. The Super League incident, however, gave Tovino a chance to 'avenge' Basil—albeit in a humorous way.

This amusing series of events has captured the attention of fans and social media, with the actors themselves becoming part of the viral humour.
