Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly and director Abrid Shine have been accused of financial fraud by co-producer P S Shamnas. Allegedly, Pauly promised Shamnas Rs 95 lakh and a stake in a new film but entered another distribution deal. An FIR was lodged under sections 406 and 420 of the IPC.
Malayalam cinema has been rocked by allegations against actor Nivin Pauly and director Abrid Shine, accused of financial fraud by a local co-producer, P S Shamnas. The complaint was lodged at Thalayolaparambu police station, citing sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code.
Shamnas alleges that Pauly offered him Rs 95 lakh following the commercial failure of the 2022 film 'Mahaveeryar' and promised a production partnership in an upcoming film. However, a separate deal with a Dubai firm has brought these assurances into question.
Details emerged that the contested movie was claimed to be under Shamnas's company, yet reportedly sold under Pauly's production house. As tensions run high, neither Pauly nor Shine has made a public statement regarding these serious allegations.
