Producer Shamnas booked for forging Pauly’s sign for film rights
The world of cinema is often marred by controversies and disputes, and the latest news is no exception. In a shocking turn of events, producer PS Shamnas has been booked for allegedly forging the signature of Nivin Pauly to obtain rights for the film ‘Action Hero Biju 2’. According to a complaint filed by Pauly, Shamnas was caught while presenting an agreement with a forged signature to the Kerala Film Chamber.
For those who may not be familiar, ‘Action Hero Biju 2’ is a sequel to the 2016 hit film ‘Action Hero Biju’, which starred Nivin Pauly in the lead role. The film was a critical and commercial success, and its sequel has been in the making for some time now.
The controversy surrounding the film’s rights began when Shamnas allegedly presented an agreement to the Kerala Film Chamber, claiming that Pauly had given him the rights to produce the sequel. However, Pauly’s production company, Pauly Junior, holds the rights to the film, and Pauly himself has denied giving any such permission to Shamnas.
It is alleged that Shamnas forged Pauly’s signature on the agreement to obtain the rights for the film. The authorities were tipped off about the alleged forgery, and Shamnas was caught red-handed while presenting the agreement to the Kerala Film Chamber.
Pauly has accused Shamnas of hiding the fact that his production company, Pauly Junior, held the rights to the film. Shamnas had allegedly claimed that he had obtained the rights to produce the sequel, and had even started working on the project without Pauly’s knowledge or consent.
The Kerala Film Chamber has launched an investigation into the matter, and Shamnas has been booked under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) related to forgery and cheating. The authorities are also investigating whether Shamnas had any accomplices in the alleged forgery.
This is not the first time that Shamnas has been involved in a controversy. In 2019, he was accused of misusing the funds of his production company, PS Productions. The company was said to have accumulated a significant amount of debt, and Shamnas was accused of using the funds for personal purposes rather than for the production of films.
The controversy surrounding ‘Action Hero Biju 2’ has sent shockwaves through the film industry, and many are left wondering how such a blatant forgery could have gone undetected for so long. The incident has also raised questions about the lack of oversight and regulation in the film industry, and the need for greater accountability from producers and production companies.
As the investigation into the matter continues, Pauly’s fans are left wondering what the future holds for the film. Will Shamnas be able to produce the sequel, or will Pauly’s production company take over the project? Only time will tell.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding ‘Action Hero Biju 2’ is a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the film industry. Producers and production companies must ensure that they are transparent about their dealings and that they do not engage in any illegal or unethical practices. The incident also highlights the need for greater regulation and oversight in the industry, to prevent such controversies from arising in the future.
