BJP leader B Gopalakrishnan deletes a contentious social media post targeting actor Mammootty following a home visit by the star.

Thrissur (Kerala): BJP leader B Gopalakrishnan has deleted a controversial Facebook post directed against actor Mammootty and others. The post, which featured photographs including that of Mammootty, was taken down recently. However, a hate post uploaded by Gopalakrishnan on the same day targeting rapper Vedan remains on his Facebook profile.
The post deleted by B Gopalakrishnan was originally published on November 4, 2025, following the announcement of the State Film Awards. In the post, Gopalakrishnan had highlighted only the names of Muslim award winners.
The deleted post read like, “Wonderful... wonderful... Best Actress Shamla Hamza... Best Actor Mammootty... Special Jury Mention Asif Ali. Best Character Actor Soubin Shahir... Best Cinematography Shyju Khalid, Best Debut Director Fazil Muhammad... In this election season, this truly is a massive wonder.”
Gopalakrishnan deleted the post after Mammootty visited him at his residence. Gopalakrishnan had previously claimed that cyber attacks were being directed against Mammootty, adding that he maintains good personal relations not only with Mammootty, but with everyone.
