THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Media men and shutterbugs caught up with controversial New-Gen actor Shane Nigan on Monday morning on the side-lines of the ongoing International film festival of Kerala.

He was hemmed in and ‘grilled’ by scribes, who wanted to his byte on the controversy surrounding him. “I doubt whether producers are having mental pain or mental illness. Compromise talks are going on but it is not with AMMA. We held meeting with Idavela Babu and Siddique as they are AMMA representatives; it was unofficial though. I’m still willing to do cinemas,” Shane said.

He was at the festival venue that was about to screen Ishq.
