Manjummel Boys has been the biggest South Indian blockbuster of this year so far. The film has achieved industry hit status in Malayalam and has managed to win the hearts of audiences all over the world. The collections and critical acclaim have given the makers a great high. However, the film has also attracted some controversy and legal troubles for the producers.
Police have registered a cheating case against the producers of ‘Manjummel Boys’ based on a petition filed by Siraj Waliyathara from Aroor. He alleged that Parava Films (Shawn Antony, Soubin, & Babu Shahir) had promised him a 40% share of the profits after investing Rs 7 crore in the project.
The complaint states that Manjummel Boys, which was made for 22 crores, earned approximately Rs 250 crores from box office collections, OTT, and satellite rights, and the producers have not honoured their commitment.
Earlier, the Ernakulam Sub Court ordered the freezing of bank accounts belonging to the makers of Manjummel Boys. The account associated with Parava Films and partner Shaun Anthony was ordered to be frozen following a petition by Siraj Waliyathara Hameed.
The survival thriller, featuring Sreenath Bhasi and Soubin Shahir in the lead roles emerged as an industry hit in Malayalam and performed tremendously well in all the territories it released in. The film is now gearing up for its OTT release
