Renji Panicker's Ban Lifted By FEUOK, Allowing 'A Ranjit Cinema' To Finally Release On...
Renji Panicker's Ban Lifted: Renowned figure in the film industry, actor, scriptwriter, and director Renji Panicker, has had his ban lifted by the Kerala Film Exhibitors United Organisation (FEUOK).
The ban was imposed due to unpaid dues by the production and distribution company associated with Renji Panicker, causing financial strain on theatre owners. Renji Panicker has assured that these outstanding amounts will be settled through installments, as confirmed by FEUOK President K. Vijayakumar.
FEUOK had highlighted an outstanding advance of Rs 30 lakhs for a film distributed seven years ago, which remained unpaid. Consequently, FEUOK had taken the stance of not releasing Renji Panicker's new film, 'A Ranjit Cinema.' Yesterday, the theater owners unanimously decided to refrain from screening any films associated with Renji Panicker, including those produced or collaborated upon by him.
With the resolution of the issue, FEUOK has now agreed to screen 'A Ranjit Cinema' in theatres starting on December 8. This development follows a previous ban imposed on Renji Panicker in April, where FEUOK restricted the release of any films involving him. Despite this ban, the movie 'Section 306 IPC,' featuring Renji Panicker, proceeded with its release on April 8, disregarding the enforced restriction.
Renji Panicker: Journalist Turned Scriptwriter, Director, And Actor
Renji Panicker commenced his professional journey as a journalist, starting out as a reporter for various magazines and publications. While at Chithrabhumi, a film magazine, he crossed paths with director Shaji Kailas. Their collaboration led Renji to script numerous successful films for Kailas, such as "Dr. Pasupathy" (1990), "Thalastaanam" (1992), "Sthalathe Pradhana Payyans" (1993), "Ekalavyan" (1993), "Mafia" (1993), "Commissioner" (1994), and "The King" (1995).
This dynamic partnership significantly propelled actor Suresh Gopi's career during the early 1990s. Renji Panicker also established a notable collaboration with director Joshiy, contributing to films like "Lelam" (1997) and "Pathram" (1999). Transitioning into film direction, he helmed two projects and now holds a managerial role at the Malayalam newspaper Metrovaartha.
While making cameo appearances in his own creations, Renji gained prominence as an actor, particularly for his role in "Ohm Shanthi Oshaana" (2014). His acting prowess shone in movies like "Njaan" (2014), "Premam" (2015), "Jacobinte Swargarajyam" (2016), "Thoppil Joppan" (2016), "Alamara" (2017), "Godha" (2017), and "Bhayanakam" (2018).
