The Meppaddiyan movie in Malayalam has become a grand success, in spite of facing staunch opposition from Islamists, Communists and the left-liberal coterie.
The movie is directed by debutant Vishnu Mohan, under Unni Mukundan’s banner, who is also the hero of the film.
The movie has scenes that shows services rendered by Sevabharathi, an NGO affiliated to the RSS.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a socio-cultural organization whose members dedicate themselves to the cause of national unity and plunge themselves on the frontline whenever a disaster strikes. They also carry out several services in health, education and other areas for uplifting the poor and downtrodden. Most importantly, it is one organisation that serves all, without caste and religious discrimination, and also acts a identity and protector of Hindus.
However, Islamic and Christian fundamentalists along with Communists have been portraying the RSS as a extremist organisation to people belonging to other religions. A few scenes from this Malayalam film Meppaddiyan, sheds light on the selfless services performed by the Sevabharati of the RSS organisation, This has caused furor amidst other religious fundamentalists and Communists. Unni Mukundan and Mepaddiyan started facing opposition and baseless accusations from these Islamists and Christian fundamentalists.
The reason why this is happening is because, the Malayalam film industry, that was once under the control of Hindu actors and producers, are now under the control of Christian and Muslim actors and producers. So they have made it a routine to place baseless complaints on such Hindu actors and producers and somehow exclude them from the film industry.
