Shane Nigam revealed the reason behind his withdrawal from Rajeev Ravi’s ‘Njan Steve Lopez’. Shane rejected the film only a few days were left for the shooting of the film to start.

The actor said in an interview that there is a reason in not doing the film. I was only 17 then and was in my first year. There was only a week left for the film to begin. Rajeev Ravi Sir told me that there was a masturbation scene. I was really shocked and was scared to tell this at home.

Actor Soubin Shahir came to my help and presented this to my parents. When they heard this, they were not interested in me doing the project. They were not able to digest when heard about that scene in my debut film as a hero for the first time. That is why I withdrew from the film. All these years I said that I was studying in college and had to study and all, but that was not the real reason.

Farhaan Faasil, brother of Fahad Faasil, played the lead role in the film released in 2014. Ahaana Krishna, Alencier and Sujith Shankar were the other casts of the film. ‘Steve Lopez’ was a critically acclaimed film.
