Hussain Aroni, director of the movie ‘Kallanmarude Veedu’ on Tuesday came up against his lead actor Bijukuttan alleging the actor for not cooperating with the promotion works of the movie. According to Aroni, Bijukuttan took the advance money from the producers but never showed up in any of the promotion works.

“ If not given proper promotion works, the movie may falter at the box office and the audience may fail to even recognize it in theatres. Bijukuttan was paid well just before the movie finished filming and he went away with that. Our movie was first scheduled for release on December 15. However, the date had to be extended after Bijukuttan shunned our request to take part in promotion works. Now while seeing his antics on reality show, we can only laugh at him for the jarring hypocrisy at display.” Hussain Aroni said.

“ Bijukuttan played the titular role in the movie along with six other artists. If he rejects the promotion work, how will we convince other artists to take part? Bijukuttan even didn’t attend the premiere of the movie. It is shameful and I feel sorry. It is the fate of commoners like us that we get ignored by people we once considered heroes. This was not the Bijukuttan we knew. ” Hussain said.
