Young actors in Malayalam cinema have been the topic of discussion for the past few days. The problems started when the film organizations came to the scene against Shane Nigam and Srinath Bhasi. Shane and Srinath Bhasi have been accused of misbehavior on the set, headache for the producers and high remuneration. Organizations had turned against both of them earlier.
Later, allegations were made against other actors as well. The allegation made by director Judd Antony against actor Antony Varghese was the most discussed. Jude’s allegation was that Antony Varghese took Rs 10 lakh as an advance and withdrew from the film. Later, Antony Varghese came to the scene saying that this argument is wrong.
Meanwhile, drug use among movie stars was also discussed. Baburaj and Tiny Tom mainly made that allegation. Baburaj alleged that the excise department turned a blind eye to a Malayalam celebrity. Tiny Tom said that a prominent actor’s teeth began to crumble due to drug use.
It was also discussed that director MA Nishad came to the scene demanding to clarify who the allegation was against. MA Nishad’s words in an interview given to Movie World Media are getting attention now. He says that director Nadirsha’s brother has turned against him.
Here in a WhatsApp group, messages are running around saying that they want to deal with me. This is because I take a stand on such matters. There is evidence. Concerned authorities will be informed. Not in a professional WhatsApp group. Including Nadirsha’s brother Samad. I am going to complain to the police. Call me green.
‘Do I have anything to do with them? Chance asked a day before the movie started. I said I was staying at another place. I solved it and left it. He called Nadirsha and said that the boy is creating an issue unnecessarily. Nadirsha is innocent in this. The incident happened the other day,’ said MA Nishad. He also talked about the complacency of young actors.
‘You have to have a commitment to the film. A hundred and fifty families go after a movie. Everyone’s time is valuable. A production boy has to get up at four o’clock. Does he also have problems,’ asked MA Nishad.
Organizations including his mother have duly intervened in his complaints. I have only one concern with my mother, how much longer I have to put up with the likes of this Tiny Tom. Tiny Tom is his mother’s caretaker. MA Nishad said that he is saying such things without consultation even as an official.
Even though the allegation was made, neither Baburaj nor Tiny Tom said who it was. This led to accusations against many actors. Amma and FEFCA organizations have already stated that they will hand over the information of the stars who use drugs to the state government. The problems of the film world are constantly being hidden and coming out.
