The latest “nepo kid” on the block, Madhav Suresh, son of renowned actor Suresh Gopi, recently addressed the relentless trolling and criticism that both he and his father face online. Madhav attributed the same to his father’s political affiliation with the BJP. The youngster, nonetheless, stated that his father is not a loudmouth and never makes public statements without doing due research.

“A lot of people here don’t like that my father is a BJP minister (Suresh Gopi currently serves as the Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas as well as Tourism, after winning from the Thrissur Lok Sabha constituency). That’s the most hate I get. My father is very opinionated and does his research before presenting his views. He stands by them, even if he gets trolled. That’s because he has the spine for it. And those who hate him may not. I’m focused on what I’m learning and doing. I don’t care about trolls or negativity,” Madhav said during a chat with a YouTube channel.

Following in the footsteps of his father and elder brother, Gokul Suresh, Madhav Suresh made his film debut playing a key role in Kummattikali (2024). However, both the film and his performance were widely panned. Nevertheless, he soon landed another opportunity and got to play a significant role in the courtroom drama Janaki v/s State of Kerala (JSK), which features his father in the lead role. Embroiled in a controversy over its title and the name of the titular character, JSK is awaiting a release date.
