After Mollywood actors came forward to campaign for the BJP and LDF, the Congress brought South Indian actress Kushboo Sunder to promote party leader G Karthikeyan's son KS Sabarinathan.
During the election campaign, Kushboo criticised the LDF leaders, who are not capable of solving the issues within the party and even challenged VS Achuthanandan, Pinarayi Vijayan and Kodiyeri Balakrishnan to share a stage together.

Kushboo lauded the activities of Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy as well as the UDF party, which includes the supply of rice for ₹1, introduction of Karunya lottery and liquor ban in the state.
While she appreciated Rahul Gandhi's 'padayatra' movement, the actress criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for travelling all over the world and his selfie moments.
