Kerala's
Film
Exhibitors
United
Organisation
(FEUOK)
cited
unpaid
dues
by
the
production
and
distribution
company
partnered
with
Renji
Panicker
as
the
reason
behind
this
ban.
Until
the
outstanding
dues
are
settled,
theatre
owners
have
declared
a
non-cooperation
stance
towards
any
film
associated
with
Renji
Panicker,
including
the
upcoming
'A
Ranjit
Cinema,'
in
which
he
plays
a
role.
This
ban
marks
a
recurrence,
as
back
in
April,
FEUOK
initiated
a
ban
against
Renji
Panicker,
rejecting
films
involving
him
in
any
capacity.
Despite
this,
the
movie
'Section
306
IPC,'
starring
Renji
Panicker,
went
ahead
with
its
release
on
April
8,
defying
the
ban.

Renji
Panicker
commenced
his
professional
journey
as
a
journalist,
starting
out
as
a

While

a
film

he
crossed
paths
with
director

partnership
significantly
propelled

career
during
the
early
1990s.
Renji
Panicker
also
established
a
notable
collaboration
with
director
Joshiy,

holds
a
managerial

at
