Mohanlal may be delivering some really big hits in recent times, but his popularity among his female fans in Malayalam cinema, and especially with his former female colleagues, is getting a big hit. All thanks to some of his recent statements in the media. Mohanlal has been getting into one controversy to another, especially after he was elected as the President of AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists). Recently, in a press conference in Dubai to promote his charity project, Mohanlal was asked about his stand on #MeToo movement in India. Mohanlal Faces Backlash on Twitter After Calling #MeToo Movement a Fad!

To which, he replied, "There is no big problem in the Malayalam film industry. In fact, #MeToo is turning into something of a fashion. Anything like that will have a lifespan for a bit and will soon disappear. I cannot make a comment on #MeToo, you can talk about it only if you experience it. Otherwise, there is no point in commenting."

His calling the movement a fad has not gone down well with many supporters of the movement. Now actress-director Revathy, also a prominent member of Women In Cinema Collective (WCC) within AMMA, has slammed Mohanlal in her recent tweet. Without taking his name, Revathy referred him as 'people who have just arrived from MARS have no clue what it means to get abused'. Dulquer Salmaan Finally Breaks His Silence On Malayalam Actresses Resign From AMMA Over Dileep Row!

Malayalam movie lovers would be sad to see the friendship between Mohanlal and Revathy have gone sour over this social issue. Both of them have been paired with each other in many memorable movies like Kaathate Killikoodu, Varavelppu, Adwaitham, Kilukkam, Agnidevan, Maya Mayooram and of course, Devasuram. Revathy has also shared her ire against the actor for the latter's stand on actor Dileep's suspension, the latter being accused of conspiring the sexual assault of an actress in 2016.
