Malayalam superstar Mammootty has invited trouble for his comments at a promotional event for his latest film Christopher, which was also attended by his co-star Aishwarya Lekshmi. All this started when Aishwarya was asked to comment about Mammootty, she said, 바카라Mammootty is chakara (sweet/jaggery).바카라 Mammootty quickly replied, 바카라She doesn바카라t call me good white sugar, but black jaggery. Chakara is made from karupatti (palm sugar), you know? Would anyone say that about someone?바카라

This comment didn바카라t go down well with netizens, who labelled his statement 바카라racist바카라. Sharing the clip, one Twitter user wrote, 바카라Colourism in our society is so deep-rooted and normalised. In this clip, #Mammootty can be seen casually cracking such colourist jokes. Most of his supporters may think it바카라s harmless, but something like this shouldn바카라t be normal, especially coming from someone like Mammootty (Sic).바카라

 바카라Racism is deeply rooted among the people as well. That바카라s the reason you rarely find dark-skinned heroes, especially heroines (sic)," commented another user.

This is not the first time the senior actor has courted controversy as recently he apologised for his remarks about filmmaker Jude Anthany. At the launch of Jude바카라s upcoming film, 2018, Mammootty said, 바카라Jude Anthany is a talented filmmaker with a lot of brain, even though he has no hair on his head.바카라 This ended up irking many, who came out against the superstar on social media.
