Hello
The decision to bring back the movie to cinemas follows its earlier re-release, which proved successful after earning multiple state awards.
Nine of the 15-member executive council convened a parallel meeting the other day and sent the letters to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Saji Cherian, and Chalachitra academy secretary, demanding that either Ranjith should change his “autocratic” style of functioning or he be ousted.
The filmmaker also spoke about the future plans of the Academy at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK).
The Minister pointed out that the current controversy is uncalled for.
Manoj Kana, Cuckoo Parameswaran, N Arun, Mummy Centuary, Prakash Sreedhar, Shaibu Mundakkal, A S Jobu, Siby and Santhosh are the nine members who openly revolted against the chairman.
Ranjith said that the screening response to his movie at the IFFK should make Dr Biju understand his relevance.
Some dummy witnesses are being planted to manipulate the evidence and dismiss the case, says Vinayan.
The court dismissed the plea saying there was not enough evidence submitted before the court along with the plea.
Lijeesh Mullezhath claimed that he was a victim of bias and nepotism by "the acts of Ranjith".
The awards were given to those who deserved them and there is no need for any investigation into the issue, the Minister said.
