Suresh Gopi Mulls Resignation: Income Drop Pushes Actor Back Towards Films

Minister of State Suresh Gopi has indicated his willingness to step down from his Union Cabinet position due to a substantial decline in his personal earnings. The acclaimed actor, who represents Kerala in the central government as Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas and Tourism, expressed during a public event that his acting career has been completely put on hold. ‘I really want to continue acting. I need to earn more; my income has now stopped completely,’ Gopi stated, highlighting the financial pressures influencing his decision. He revealed his aspiration to return to filmmaking to supplement his income. In a significant move, Gopi proposed that C Sadanandan Master, a veteran BJP leader and current Rajya Sabha member from Kerala, be considered for his cabinet role. Gopi believes Master’s inclusion would be a significant positive step for the state’s political standing. The Union Minister’s contemplation of resignation brings to light the complex interplay between political service and the economic realities of maintaining a former high-profile career.
