Directed by Omar Lulu and starring Rahman, Dhyan Srinivasan and Sheelu Abraham, the recently released film ‘Bad Boys’ has found itself embroiled in controversy. Allegations have surfaced that the movie's producer, Abraham Mathew, owner of Abaam Movies and husband of actress Sheelu Abraham, threatened a vlogger over the phone following a negative review of the film.
The vlogger, who had posted a critical review of the movie, released a phone recording allegedly featuring Abraham Mathew. In the recording, Mathew is heard demanding the immediate removal of the review, warning the vlogger of consequences if it wasn't taken down. He expressed frustration over negative reviews being posted after the production spent crores on the film, insinuating that such reviews were done after receiving money from other sources.
The vlogger, visibly shaken by the incident, claimed that he feared for his life, stating he felt powerless against those making the threats. Following the alleged threat, the vlogger deleted his review of ‘Bad Boys’.
Released during the Onam season, ‘Bad Boy’ is described as a comedy entertainer. The film's story was developed by director Omar Lulu, with Sarang Jayaprakash handling the screenplay and dialogues. Cinematography was by Albi, while Don Max is the creative director. The music was composed by William Francis, with lyrics by BK Harinarayanan, Vinayak Sasikumar and Akhilesh Ramachandran. Dilip Dennis edited the film
