Mammootty's Coca-Cola Deal Backtrack After Politician's Ultimatum

Imagine a famous actor, Mammootty, being offered a lot of money to promote Coca-Cola.

It seemed like a good deal at first.

However, the company was in trouble for something called the Plachimada legal battle.

This made the actor's role tricky because a political leader, VS Achuthanandan, who opposed Coca-Cola, told Mammootty he shouldn't do the ad.

Mammootty runs a TV channel backed by a political party that also opposed Coca-Cola.

So, it was like choosing between the ad and his political and business connections.
