Shashi Tharoor came in the defence of Parvathy who was forced to file a police complaint after the trolling and bullying escalated on social media, spearheaded by fans of actor Mammootty who did not take her comment on his film Kasaba too lightly.

Malayalam actress Parvathy has reportedly filed a police complaint after the trolling and bullying escalated on social media, spearheaded by fans of actor Mammootty who did not take her comment on his film Kasaba too lightly. Speaking to NDTV, the actress said that the issue is not just about her anymore but about silencing a woman who speaks up.
Malayalam actress Parvathy, who has been receiving a lot of flak for criticising Mammootty’s film Kasaba, a crass film laden with misogyny, has given director Jude Anthany Joseph a fitting reply to him calling her a circus monkey.
Malayalam actress Parvathy, who was speaking at the Women in Cinema Collective at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), spoke about a particular film she had the ‘bad luck’ of watching. She was referring to Mammootty’s film Kasaba, that released last year, where the superstar had uttered several misogynistic dialogues and rape threats.
Last week, Malayali actor Parvathy Thiruvothu bagged the Best Actress Award at the International Film Festival Of India, thus being the first actor from Kerala to win the Silver Peacock. The 29-year-old artiste has starred in just nine Malayalam films in a career spanning 11 years – a number so small when compared to the filmography of her contemporary male actors.

Actress Parvathy Menon, who has always been vocal about wage disparity in the industry, took to Facebook yesterday to call out a few regional media houses who had claimed that she is the highest paid actress in the Malayalam industry. According to an IE report, some media outlets had reported that the actress has hiked her wage from Rs 30-35 lakhs to Rs 1 crore.
Until the climax, that is. “The movie demanded the look of a busty Mallu wife,” says Parvathy during our half-hour conversation soon after the press meet of her upcoming film, Enkitta Modhathey. “I’ll never repeat the role, though. I want to experiment.Parvathy narrates an instance: “The hero in the Telugu movie I’m currently working on was initially against the producers’ decision to cast me as he thought I won’t fit in. ” The actor had apparently been skeptical about her casting because she’s known for her ‘serious and intense roles’. “But after watching the film’s rushes, he apologised to me,” Parvathy says.
In a peacock green-blue skirt, chunky jewellery, and a simple black top with a generous amount of make-up on, Parvathy looked quite fresh on a sultry day in Chennai.”The make-up for my character was deliberately done to make me look tanned, a little darker, oiled neat hair – typical bubbly village girl.
Actress Parvathy has been roped in to play the female lead in a romantic-comedy opposite Irfan Khan.
