Actress
Assault
Case
In
2017,
he
found
himself
in
the
limelight
for
a
shocking
reason
when
he
was
arrested
in
connection
with
the
actress
assault
case,
which
rocked
the
very
foundation
of
the
Malayalam
film
fraternity.
Shortly
thereafter,
he
was
expelled
from
AMMA
and
this
added
to
his
woes.
Vinayan
Attacks
Dileep
Around
the
same
time,
director
Vinayan
told
a
leading
daily
that
Dileep's
arrest
was
'imminent'
and
called
the
actor
a
'master
manipulator'.
He
went
on
to
add
that
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
were
merely
his
'puppets'.
His
Exact
Words
"From
my
personal
experience,
I
know
that
Dileep
is
a
master
manipulator
and
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
have
just
been
puppets
in
his
hands.
He
rose
to
so
much
power
that
behind
the
scenes,
it
was
him
who
was
controlling
Malayalam
cinema's
progress."
A
Revelation
Vinayan
also
claimed
that
Dileep
was
instrumental
in
his
ouster
from
an
organisation.
"I
had
created
the
organisation
MACTA
and
we
had
warned
Dileep
when
he
didn't
act
in
a
movie
despite
taking
advance
from
the
producer.
He
then
challenged
me
publicly
and
said
he
would
make
sure
I
don't
continue
in
my
position," he
added.
Work
Matters
Nearly
two
years
later,
Dileep
is
out
on
bail
and
the
case
is
still
being
investigated.
Meanwhile,
Dileep
is
currently
busy
with
his
professional
commitments.
He
was
last
seen
in
Kodathi
Samaksham
Balan
Vakeel
that
did
well
at
the
box
office.
At
present,
he
has
the
fantasy-comedy
Professor
Dinkan
in
his
kitty.
He
will
also
be
seen
in
Jack
Daniel.
