Unni Mukundan snatches fan’s phone

A video posted by an X (formerly Twitter) page shows Unni walking with his team while two fans try to film him from either side. When the one standing close to him shoved the phone in his face, the actor seemed to lose his cool. He snatched the phone from the fan’s hand, put it in his pocket and walked away. However, the fan stopped him and took it from his pocket, seemingly leaving him more irritated. Some people thought it was funny, while others wondered why he was getting irritated.

One person on X opined that Unni should’ve been kinder, writing, “During the budding stage you encourage them and now you get irritated when the same fans approach you.” But another thought he was right in taking away the phone, commenting, “There is a limit. What he did is right. He would have inserted the mobile in the hero’s nose lol.” One fan joked, “Marco, what is this?” Another wrote, “Just be happy that he didn’t throw the phone.” Some thought it was a stunt, “But already another camera is recording this..hahaha. celebrity stunts for social media.”
