Mammootty, the megastar of Mollywood, has landed up in a new controversy. The actor has allegedly insulted the television actors and Asianet channel, during the Asianet Television Awards 2015 ceremony, which was held at Angamaly.
As per the sources, Mammootty, who was the chief guest of the function, openly stated his disapproval over the Asianet awards on the stage. He publicly questioned Asianet channel's method of selecting the award recipients.
