A resurfaced video of filmmaker Geetu Mohandas saying she never sticks to her own script has gone viral, drawing heavy trolling on social media. The clip, from an older interview, shows Mohandas stating: “I write something, I shoot something else, I edit something else, and then the film is out. Then I'm happy.”
The remark has sparked criticism following the release of her latest film, with many accusing her of lacking professional discipline. Mohandas, known for her critically acclaimed works, has not yet responded to the backlash.
The controversy continues to trend online as users debate the filmmaker's creative process. No further statement from Mohandas or her team is expected currently.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The controversy lands at a moment when the Malayalam film industry is still reeling from the Hema Committee report, which documented systemic harassment and exploitation. Geetu Mohandas's old interview, where she treats narrative chaos as a creative virtue, could not have surfaced at a worse time for her credibility. Audiences and industry peers are now far less tolerant of directors who treat professional discipline as optional, especially after the report exposed how unchecked creative freedom often enabled abuse. The stakes go beyond one film: the debate is forcing every senior filmmaker to publicly clarify their standards of conduct on set.
