Recently, the director of the movie Aneesh Upasana and producer Ajay Jose has started a strike in front of the distribution office, alleging that the distribution company owner Maha Subair cheated them by trading the distribution rights to a third party.

Aneesh Upasana and Ajay Jose says that Maha Subair refused to meet them to discuss about the issue.

The director-producer duo states that the complete cast and crew offered them full support and has willingly joined in the strike.
