Issues with Vijay Babu settled : Sandra Thomas

The Malayalam film industry was already in trouble with the cinema strike issue, when reports about a police case filed by producer Sandra Thomas against her partner Vijay Babu started doing the rounds in the medias. The two together owned the popular production company Friday Film House. Sandra Thomas filed the case against Vijay Babu for allegedly assaulting her in his office. There were many speculations about the reasons for the tiff between the two including issues over ownership of the company.

Now the industry can heave a sigh of relief as the issue has been settled. Sandra Thomas has updated a post in her official Facebook account stating that all the issues between the two were resolved.

The post reads,

Dear Friends, We always celebrated our accomplishments. There was no jealousy involved. On a minor quarrel between us, our ‘toxic’ friends have found ways to rain on our parade, introducing storms and tempests of invalidation, apparently with the motive of belittlement and degradation. Still they often disguise themselves as ‘honest’ or ‘helpful’. Our issues are being sorted out between us and nothing can emotionally exhaust me. Here I raise the red flag for such emotional vampires who are trying to worsen things, propagating fallacious versions. Nothing can put a shade on the light of friendship.

Earlier after the case was filed against him, Vijay Baby posted in Facebook that Sandra Thomas and her husband have filed a fake case for the sake of taking over their business property. Compromise talks were held between the two. Many celebrities from the industry came forward requesting the friends to resolve the matters soon. They had asked the police to wait for

Many celebrities from the industry came forward requesting the friends to resolve the matters soon. They had asked the police to wait for sometime before they take any action against Vijay Babu. It is learnt that Sandra filed a non-bailable case against him for allegedly kicking her when she went to his office. Though Sandra was not ready for any compromise initially, she was later convinced by common friends. A popular young actor is said to have acted as the main mediator to settle the issue between the two.

Let’s hope that the two patch up soon to helm Friday Film House together and introduce more talents to the industry.

Vigilance raid in theatres across the State

Vigilance raid in theatres across the State

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau carried out raids at various cinema theatres across the State following information that the owners are not remitting Cess and entertainment taxes to the government.

Theatre owners are supposed to pay Rs 3 as Cess for every ticket sold and 32 percent of the ticket charge as entertainment tax. Theatres under all classes are liable to pay the above taxes.

Raids were held at many theatres including the four theatres in the Liberty complex owned by Exhibitors Federation president Liberty Basheer in Thalassery. There were complaints about 80 rupees tickets being sold for Rs 100 in his theatres.

The raid comes a day after compromise talks between the Kerala Film Exhibitors Federation and the Kerala Film Producers Association-Film Distributors’ Association, mediated by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and minister for cultural affairs A.K. Balan failed to reach a consensus over profit sharing. The exhibitors are still demanding a 50-50 share on the theatrical collections of all new releases.

No Malayalam films could be released in Kerala since December 16 due to the ongoing tiff between the two parties. Many highly anticipated movies scheduled to release for Christmas had to be postponed for further dates.

Manjima Mohan against Kollywood director

Manjima Mohan is currently on a high after the super success of her last release Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. The actress played the character Leela, romantic interest of Simbu’s character in the movie. She has been getting a lot of appreciation for her performance in the movie, but Manjima tasted success only after a very bitter incident.

The actress shared about the incident in a recent interview. After signing for Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada, she was offered the female lead role in a movie. When she went to sign the contract, the director of the movie humiliated her for her body weight and shape. The experience was very embarrassing, that she had to walk out of the project. But Manjima was not ready to reveal the name of the director or the film.

Body shaming is something that is prevalent in film industries across the world especially in the glamour world of Bollywood. Actresses like Parineeti Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha, Zareen Khan, Sonam Kapoor and even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have all been victims of body shaming.

Eventhough the incident worried Manjima, she didn’t give up and now has a handful of projects in Kollywood. She will be next seen in Sathriyan opposite Vikram Prabhu, followed by an yet to be titled movie with Udhayanidhi Stalin. Manjima Mohan started her acting career as a child artist in Malayalam movies. She made her debut as a lead actress through Nivin Pauly starrer Oru Vadakkan Selfie released in 2015.

Adi Kappyare Kootamani director John Varghese against Vijay Babu and Sandra Thomas

Popular production banner Friday Film House is now in the verge of annihilation. The company owned by Sandra Thomas and Vijay Babu have produced around 10 films and made a name for themselves in the industry. They were known for giving chances to many talented youngsters. Most of their movies had new comers in the cast and crew departments. But eventually the partners ended up in a tussle and have parted ways following issues over the company’s ownership. Recently, a police case was filed against Vijay Babu for assaulting Sandra Thomas in his office. She was admitted in a private hospital in Kochi, from where the police registered the case.

Now another severe allegation have cropped up against the production house after the director of superhit movie Adi Kappyare Kootamani, John Varghese has filed a case against them in the court. John Varghese said, “Adi Kappyare Kootamani was initially planned to be made in Tamil. Friday Film House came forward to produce the movie in Malayalam after they liked the script. I had told them about my wish to do the movie in Tamil and asked them to add a clause in the agreement. But it was not there in the agreement. When I asked about it, they told me that they forgot about the clause. I trusted them and went forward with the shoot.”

“During the filming, they asked me to sign another agreement. As I was busy with the shoot, I signed it. The agreement was made in such a way that the script and remake rights were now their property. After the movie was released to good response and went on to become a success, another producer came forward to remake it in Tamil. We had even finalised the cast. When I went to the Friday Film House office to discuss the matter, I was told that they will produce the movie in Tamil also. It was only later that I realized that they had cheated me. So decided to file a case against them before the law. Eventhough Adi Kappyare Kootamani was a superhit movie which earned more than 4 crores as profit for the producers, I was offered a very measly amount as remuneration.”

John Varghese also blamed the production house for him not being able to do another movie after Adi Kappyare Kootamani. The movie starred Dhyan Sreenivasan, Aju Varghese, Neeraj Madhav, Mukesh and Namitha Pramod in the lead roles. It was a comedy entertainer with some elements of horror also.
