Reprieve likely for actor Shane Nigam

Actor Shane Nigam is likely to get relief from the non-cooperation announced by the Kerala Film Producers’ Association (KFPA) over allegations of professional misconduct against him.

The Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) is learnt to have proposed a solution before the trade body. A formal announcement is likely to be made after the general body meeting of the association of artistes here on Sunday.

As per the agreement, AMMA general secretary Edavela Babu would coordinate the dates of the actor with his producers till an arrangement is in place to ensure the smooth production work of his movies. His mother has been coordinating his dates with the producers and this has allegedly caused some issues with a section of producers.

The decision by the KFPA not to cooperate with the actor came after Sophia Paul, producer of the upcoming movie RDX, had submitted a complaint against him before the KFPA alleging that his indiscipline and lack of professionalism had caused financial loss to her.

It was also alleged that he demanded that the production house show the edited footage to him and his mother to ascertain the prominence of his character.

Mr. Nigam had rejected the allegations, while claiming that the director himself had asked him to watch the edited footage. The actor has completed the dubbing of the movie as per the proposed agreement reached upon between the AMMA and the KFPA.
