NEERAJ MADHAV CALLS OUT NEPOTISM IN MALAYALAM FILM INDUSTRY; FILM BODY WRITES, SEEKING DETAILS

Now, the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) has sought an explanation on the actor’s statements about power hierarchies in Malayalam cinema. FEFKA General Secretary B Unnikrishnan has written a letter to the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), requesting Neeraj to be more forthcoming.

“He has mentioned a production controller and other people in his post on power lobbies in the industry. However, his allegations are not specific. If he gives us details about people who spoke or behaved in such a manner with him, trade unions like ours can intervene and resolve it. Neeraj also hinted that there are lobbies in Malayalam cinema. He has to provide specific details on such complaints,” Unnikrishnan was quoted as saying by TNM. 

“Otherwise, if Neeraj gives names of people, FEFKA and AMMA representatives can invite both parties for a discussion and resolve the issues. Either way, it is the responsibility of trade unions to ensure that such lobbies do not exist,” he further had said.
