Actor Antony Varghese's Mother Files Complaint Against Director Jude Anthany For Insulting Her Daughter

Antony Pepe's Mother Files Complaint Against Jude Anthany: Antony Varghese responds to director Jude Anthany's allegations. He said that his mother has filed a case against Director Jude Anthany for insulting her daughter and added that no mother could tolerate what Jude had stated. Antony Varghese says he is reacting now because his family has been dragged into trouble.

Few days ago Jude alleged that Antony backed out 18 days before the shoot after taking money from the producer. Not only that, Jude also accused Antony Varghese of arranging his sister's marriage with advance money from producer. Then Antony Varghese came out with a response in the press conference.

Jude Anthany made many allegations about me. Let him say whatever he wants about me. I don't mind. That's why I was silent. But when he says that my younger sister's marriage was done with the advance money of the film, I can't bear it. My parents were all very upset. The thing is that their daughter's marriage was done with the money they earned. A lot of comments insult my wife and family. That's the only reason I thought I should respond.

"The day I returned the money to the producer was January 27, 2020. My sister's marriage was on January 18, 2021. That means my younger sister got married a year after I returned their money. I can't time-travel. All documents can be checked. The second half of the movie left me confused. When I spoke about it, Jude Anthany Joseph lashed out. Then I withdrew from the film. It is a matter that was discussed and resolved through organisations three years ago. Why bring it up now? Antony Varghese asked.

I went and watched Jude Anthany's movie with my family. It's a great movie. But the success of that film is being used to ruin my life. He abuses it. This affects my future. What will the producers who are going to make a film with me think? When someone has success, everyone is there to listen.

Is This How A Director Talks About A Budding Director's Film?

Jude Anthany brought the name of Nahas Hidhayath, who directed my current film, 'RDX'. He said that the movie 'Aaravm' was not made because of a curse. Is this how a director talks about a budding director's film? Antony asked.

"Jude said that I am not capable or qualified. Who is he to measure my worth? Well, maybe I'm not talented, but I'm a dreamer. That conviction is enough for me. Jude said that I came into film only because Lijo Jose Pellissery gave me an opportunity. It is true. Everyone comes to the cinema because someone gives them a chance. I'm not the only one. Jude Anthany also got a chance; that's how he came into the industry. He came to the cinema because a producer gave him an opportunity," Antony Varghese said.
