Actor Shane Nigam, known for his performances in films such as Kismath, Parava Kumbalangi Nights and the much recent Ishq alleges that he had received death threats from Joby George, the producer of his forthcoming film Veyil.
In a letter to Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), Shane alleged that Joby George threatened him of dire consequences since he broke the continuity of his character's look in Veyil due to a hairdo that he recently did for another film Qurbaana. Shane had also mentioned that the shooting of Qurbana was temporarily halted as he fell sick due to food poisoning.
In the letter, Shane requested protection and claimed that Joby George is responsible if anything happens to his life. Apart from the complaint, the actor had also submitted the evidence that includes photographs and voice recordings to the concerned authorites of the association.
Directed by Sarath Menon, Veyil stars Shane Nigam and Shine Tom Chacko in central roles. The makers had recently completed the first schedule of the project. Shane also posted a video about this issue in his official social media account.
