Veteran actor and politician Suresh Gopi has come out in strong support of actress Anupama Parameswaran, following her emotional revelation about facing discrimination and trolling within the Malayalam film industry. His remarks have reignited conversations around neglect of female talent in regional cinema.
“Anupama Spoke from the Heart” – Gopi’s Empathetic Response
At a promotional event for their upcoming film JSK (Janaki vs State of Kerala), Anupama shared how her acting abilities were often dismissed and how she endured harsh online trolling from within her own linguistic community. Reacting to her statements, Suresh Gopi said:
“Anupama spoke from the heart… and this is not the first time something like this has happened.”
He added that the Malayalam industry has a history of overlooking talented actresses, citing examples like Simran, Asin, and Nayanthara, who were initially disregarded but later rose to pan-Indian stardom.
“This Is Karma” – A Message of Hope
Gopi emphasized that what happened to those actresses is now repeating in Anupama’s case, but with a hopeful twist:
“The same will happen in Anupama’s life too. This is what we call karma. It is bound to happen. My prayers are with her.”
Industry Reactions and Film Context
The remarks come ahead of the release of JSK, a legal thriller directed by Pravin Narayanan, where Anupama stars alongside Suresh Gopi. The film’s themes of justice and resilience now mirror the real-life narrative surrounding its lead actress.
