Prithviraj Sukumaran has recently voiced his stands on the new administrative reforms in Lakshadweep and expressed solidarity with the #SaveLakshadweep campaign. And the actor has been receiving a lot of hate on social media for the same. From certain media to people with different political views, Prithviraj Sukumaran has been at the receiving end of hate campaigns lately. Veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan has now come in support of the actor.

In his latest social media post, Priyadarshan has extended his support to Prithviraj Sukumaran and has asked people to stop cornering him. The filmmaker said that every person living in a society will have his own stands and opinion on the issues happening around and a democratic society gives freedom to express such opinions. “Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has voiced his opinion and stands about the current problems happening in Lakshadweep. I believe he has the freedom to say that, and of course, there may be those who disagree with that opinion, and we have the freedom to disagree. But I cannot stand responding to his opinion in an indecent manner," Priyadarshan said in his post.

Although Priyadarshan has extended his support to Prithviraj Sukumaran, the filmmaker hasn’t expressed his take on the Lakshadweep issue. Meanwhile, on the work front, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s last outing was ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’. The actor has a few interesting movies in the pipeline including, ‘Kuruthi’, ‘Star’, ‘Jana Gana Mana’, ‘Cold Case’, and ‘Bhramam’, ‘Aadujeevitham’, ‘Kaduva’

On the work front, Priyadarshan’s upcoming film is ‘Marakkar - Arabikkadalinte Simham’. The movie has won the National Film Award for the best feature film.
