In a significant development, the Supreme Court has granted bail to Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the high-profile actress attack case. The decision, albeit with strict conditions, has come after nearly seven years of incarceration.
The state government strongly opposed the bail application, arguing that it would jeopardize the ongoing investigation and trial. However, the Supreme Court ruled that the delay in the trial process warranted granting bail.
Pulsar Suni, whose real name is Sunil Kumar Pillai, was arrested in February 2017 in connection with the abduction and sexual assault of a popular Malayalam actress. The case has garnered widespread attention and sparked public outrage.
While the bail decision has brought some relief to Pulsar Suni, the investigation into the case continues, and the trial is expected to proceed.

After many years, Malayalam film buffs are pretty excited to witness the clash of #EvergreenstarRahman and #PowerStarBabu on the big screens through the film #BadBoyz ’, which is all set for the worldwide theatrical release on September 13, for the festive occasion of Onam. The film is directed by #OmarLulu.
Omar Lulu shot to fame for creating an overnight sensation by creating the magical scene of Priya Warrier’s winking in ‘Oru Aadar Love’. The expectations for ‘Bad Boyz’ has spiked up with the colourful and riveting visual promos and trailer.
Actor Rahman’s character name is Mekkaattu Kulam Aantappan and Babu Antony appears as Vettu Kaadu Belson.
Actor Babu Antony, while expressing his joy on sharing screen opposite Rahman in this film, recalls some of their best memories together.
“During the 80s, I was desperately looking out for acting breakthrough and kept searching for offers. It was during the same phase, actor Rahman was on peak on his career, after working with Megastar #Mammootty and #Suhasini in the film #Koodevide directed by iconic filmmaker Padmarajan. Later, I got an opportunity to work with him in a movie titled ‘Chilambu’, directed by Bharathan. Initially, I thought it’s going to be a small role, only to get to surprised, when Bharathan sir told me that it’s villain role opposite Rahman. I had perceived that actor Rahman for his celebrated fame would have egoistic attitude, but my assumptions were proved wrong. Right on the first day of shooting, he got so close to me, and even gave me acting tips. He would take my everyday by his car to shooting. The film became successful, and my fame got bigger. His friendliness and good-hearted nature remains the same even today. Later, we had a single day shooting together for a movie titled ‘Black’. After many years, we are sharing screen together in the movie ‘Bad Boyz’, where he plays the protagonist, and me as a villain. It’s a double delight for me now. Well, audience will have to wait and watch if my character is good or bad, after the film’s release,” says actor Babu Antony, who tots up stating ‘Bad Boyz’ will be a family entertainer that can be enjoyed by audiences beyond linguistic and regional boundaries.
