Viral Election ‘Poster’ Showing Muslim Woman Candidate’s Husband Instead Of Her Is Not Real, From A Malayalam Film

A viral post on social media claims that in Kerala, a Muslim woman candidate’s election campaign poster featured her husband instead of her. The Malayalam banner purportedly carries the slogan “Vote for Sulaiman’s wife Fathima” and mentions “Chakkarakkudam Grama Panchayat – Ward 11” with a symbol of a political party named PPDP.

Evidence

Panchayat name does not exist

The banner mentions “Chakkarakkudam Grama Panchayat.”
A search on the Kerala Local Self Government Department’s official website (lsgkerala.gov.in) shows that no such panchayat exists.

No registered party named PPDP

The poster features a political party called PPDP but there is no registered political party under that name in Kerala. The only similar party is the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), founded by Abdul Nasser Madani.

Image matches scene from Malayalam film

Several users pointed out in the comments that the image appears in the Malayalam movie Vellaripattanam (2023).

 The official YouTube upload by Amrita Movies confirms this — the same poster appears at 1 hour 19 minutes into the film. This clearly proves the image was taken from a 2023 Malayalam movie and not from an actual election campaign.
