Actor Bineesh Bastin sparked a controversy recently by alleging that director Anil Radhakrishnan Menon had refused to share the stage with him during a college function in Palakkad. The incident occurred at the Palakkad Medical College where Bineesh was seen protesting on the stage where Anil was delivering a speech.

As the controversy is heating up, an old video of the actor has surfaced on social media. The video shows Bineesh praising the director during a conversation with a friend. He says, "Anil sir is one of my favourite directors. Whenever we meet, he comes and talks to me."
