Trisul

For the last several months, speculations were rife that Malayalam superstar Mammootty, known to be an activist of ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF), would be offered either the Ernakulam Lok Sabha seat or the Ponnani seat in Muslim-dominated Malappuram district in the forthcoming elections. The speculation began to circulate from July last year, but the actor subsequently rubbished it, saying that he was too busy with movies to enter politics.
