Controversy• Trolled by Mammootty's fans for making remarks on his film: In 2017, Parvathy Thiruvothu talked about the misogynic dialogues used in Malayalam films at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). Highlighting Mammootty's film "Kasaba," she said,
"With all respect to the makers, the film disappointed me, as it featured a great actor uttering misogynistic dialogues. A lot of people feel and believe that cinema reflects life and the society. When a superstar utters such a dialogue, people obviously tend to think that it is cool to make sexist remarks." [1]The Week
Later, she was heavily trolled and abused by Mammootty's fans on social media.
