Dileep Threatened Exhibitors Federation Members: Liberty Basheer

Dileep, the janapriyanayakan has played a great role in solving the cinema strike in Kerala. But now, the Exhibitors Federation head Liberty Basheer has raised some severe allegations against the actor.

According to Liberty Basheer, Dileep gained the support of most of the Exhibitors Federation Members, by threatening them. A large number of members had quit the Exhibitors Federation, to join the new Theatre Owners Association.

Even though they haven't intervened publicly in the issue, Mammootty and Mohanlal are said to have offered complete support to Dileep's actions. Mammootty's close associate Anto Joseph and Mohanlal's partner Antony Perumbavoor are active members of the new association.

Liberty Basheer has also alleged that the new Theatre Owners Association and Producers Association have raised an unofficial ban against the Exhibitors Federation members and theatres under their ownerships.

If things proceed at the same rate, the upcoming movies Jomonte Suvisheshangal and Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol will not release in the theatres under the ownership of about 25 Exhibitors Federations members.

But, the new Theatre Owners Association and Producers Association have slammed Liberty Basheer's allegations. They stated that it is the producers of the respective movies, who decided not release in the theatres of Exhibitors Federation members.
