In April this year, the Kerala Film Producers Association had said their members would not include these two actors in films because of complaints about their misconduct on the sets.
After two hours of a raid on writer-director Najeem’s room, the Excise department had found nothing incriminating, prompting the film body to call the tipoff a conspiracy.
Producer Sophia Paul had reportedly cited this letter while filing a complaint against Shane with the Kerala Film Producers’ Association, accusing him of indiscipline and unprofessional behaviour.
Alleging that the two actors have created issues in the films they work in by their indulgence in drugs, the producers association said that they cannot be held responsible anymore.
