Reacting to the allegations, Tovino Thomas had shared a video via his social media, where he clarified his side of things, along with the film’s co-producer Girish Nair.

However, the very next day, he had to take down the film following a copyright complaint by co-producer Girish Nair.
Sanal Kumar Sasidharan’s response to the copyright complaint
Addressing the copyright complaint, director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan shared a post via his social media. He mentioned that Girish Nair, the co-producer of the film, filed the complaint on behalf of the production house Parrot Mount Pictures. Further he added that this act in itself was proof of his accusation that both Tovino and the producer did not want the film to reach the general audience.
He questioned why the actor and producer were filing copyright suits when, in the video shared by Tovino, the actor had mentioned that he wants the film to be seen by an audience. He further raised six points, reacting to criticisms and questioning the producers for their actions.
