Nadirshah’s directorial ‘Magic Mushrooms’ featuring
Vishnu Unnikrishnan in the lead is gearing up for release this Friday, January 23. The makers of the film have now dropped a promotional video, which appears to allude to the recent incident of a Kerala man, who died by suicide, after an allegation of sexual misconduct on a bus.
‘Magic Mushrooms’ teaser draws parallels with the Kerala bus video case
In the new teaser, Vishnu Unnikrishnan’s character is seen boarding a bus. He is standing next to a woman, who seems to be his love interest. As he gets off the bus, his friend asks him why he was standing so close to the woman. “I was keeping a distance. She never recorded anything,” Vishnu’s character says. In the shots that follow, Vishnu’s character says one should not trust women. The new promo video has grabbed eyeballs, especially as the bus incident case has become a heated debate on social media.
