Reacting to the scary reports, the director of Anjaam Pathiraa, Midhun Manuel Thomas said that he was shocked to read reports that his 2020 blockbuster crime thriller movie had inspired a murder.
On a lighter note on his movies inspiring crimes, the filmmaker said that people who want to do money laundering can really find some ideas from his recent film Garudan.
