The Income Tax raids, without a doubt, must have proved a dampener for both Mammootty and Mohanlal, the reigning superstars of Mollywood.

While Mammootty was busy with engagement ceremony of his son when the IT sleuths knocked at his doors, Mohanlal was tied up with his tight shooting schedule for the upcoming flick Pranayam, touted as a watershed in his filmy career.

Mammootty had taken a brief break from the project ‘King and Commissioner’ in connection with his son Salman’s engagement, a low-key affair held at Taj Coromandal hotel in Chennai on Thursday.

However, ‘The Kings’ houses in Chennai and Kochi were raided by the IT officials. He is expected to reach Kochi by Friday evening.

Income Tax sleuths have said to have stumbled on unaccounted wealth running into several crores of rupees in simultaneous raids on the premises owned by top Malayalam movie actors Mohanlal and Mammootty.

The Investigation Wing of the IT Department searched the properties owned by the two in Kochi, Chennai and Bangalore from early Friday and found physical assets and documents that indicated heavy unaccounted income and wealth, sources said. Raids are going on in various properties belonging to the actors. A clear picture of the extent of unaccounted and non-taxed assets could emerge only on Saturday.
