The main culprits in the online women trade case Reshmi Nair and Rahul Pasupalan during the police interrogation said that they went into such a situation due to the financial debt in which they fell after their decision to do a film named Pling. It was a film that started rolling directed by Rahul Shishupalan and scripted by Reshmi. But the financer of the film had come out against the couple saying that all their claims were fake. Because he had given enough money for them to shoot the film and if there is any financial problem that comes associated with film, it has to be for him and not for them. The name of the financer is Manoj K Sreedhar and he is a notable businessman in Kochi.
Manoj says that he and his wife met Rahul Pasupalan and Reshmi Nair during the campaign of kiss of love. At first they thought that all of them having the same viewpoints about all the issues that lead to the kiss of love campaign. Later they thought about making a film on the basis of this thought and then Rahul Pasupalan said that he will direct the film as he had worked as an assistant director in 4 Malayalam films. But that was a fake claim and they later understood after beginning the shoot of the film that Rahul Pasupalan did not even know how to hold a light in a film set.
