A debate ignited as actors, including Mohanlal, saluted the Prime Minister, while Mammootty stood with folded hands, refraining from saluting.
Actor and BJP leader Suresh Gopi's daughter, Bhagya Suresh, celebrated her nuptials with businessman Shreyas, the son of Mohan and Sridevi, in an opulent ceremony at Guruvayur.
The grand wedding, graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, unfolded at the divine Guruvayur temple. Suresh Gopi expressed his joy on Twitter, seeking blessings for the newlyweds.
The ceremony witnessed a significant turnout of Malayalam film personalities, with notable actors Mammootty and Mohanlal in attendance.
Social media is abuzz with highlights from the wedding. Following the Prime Minister's attendance, the Guruvayur temple fell under the control of the Central Security Force.
Reports circulated alleging that Mohanlal bypassed security checks, while Mammootty underwent screening with a metal detector.
Upon inquiry, it was clarified that Suresh Gopi and his daughter underwent thorough screening with no discriminatory practices.
Mammootty, captured in photos standing with folded hands while saluting Mohanlal, led to misinterpretation.
PM Modi, who presented Mammootty with Akshata (Sacred Rice), engaged in conversation, and Mammootty received the Akshata to bless the couple.
Transgender activist Sheetal Shyam sarcastically shared a picture of Mammootty, underscoring the deceptive nature of social media. Suresh Gopi's son, Gokul Suresh, criticized those spreading negativity with incomplete details.
Social media handles also circulated images of PM Modi in conversation with actor Mammootty.
