Anoop Kannan, producer of the 2024 film ‘Nadanna Sambhavam,’ has publicly accused actor Biju Menon of failing to fulfill promotional commitments as per their contract, resulting in an estimated Rs 25 lakh loss for Kannan. Kannan stated that while a contract with the Kerala Film Producers’ Association mandates 10 days of promotion, actors often manage two to three days; however, Menon reportedly only participated for a mere two and a half hours on one occasion despite their friendship and initial willingness. Kannan raised the issue with the producers' association and considered legal action due to a lack of resolution, expressing relief that FEFKA general secretary B Unnikrishnan recently brought attention to Menon's alleged pattern of not honoring promotional obligations, a statement that also touched on actors' habitual late arrivals to sets. Neither Biju Menon nor director Jeethu Joseph have yet responded to the allegations.
FEFKA general secretary B Unnikrishnan has voiced strong criticism against actors and actresses for habitually arriving late to film sets, thereby disrupting shooting schedules and impacting Malayalam movie productions, even as a new contract is being implemented to cap daily working hours at 12 for technicians and crew who have endured 16-hour shifts, a revision that follows three years of discussions with the Kerala Film Producers Association; Unnikrishnan specifically called out actor Biju Menon for skipping promotional activities for his films, citing a significant financial loss to a producer for one project, and while wage adjustments are slated for a year later, a broader contract involving producers, directors, and artists is expected to be signed imminently.
