Actor Bala accused Unni Mukundan

Actor Bala accused Unni Mukundan :

Actor Bala accused Unni Mukundan, the actor-producer, of failing to pay him for services rendered. He came forth with evidence to corroborate his side of the story, putting the matter to rest. Unni Mukundan is accused of not having paid the salaries of the actors and crew of his most recent film, Shafeekinte Santhosham, except the ladies who worked on the project. In response to these accusations, Unni Mukundan went public with several documents that included bank statements and information about money transfer transactions for actors Bala and Eldho Issac, among others.

He insisted that he had already paid the compensations that everyone agreed upon and that Bala's accusations, one of his close friends, were unfounded. "Bala is a dear friend, and he worked for Shafeekinte Santhosham for 20 days. His remuneration was Rs 3 Lakh, and as a daily salary of Rs 10,000, we transferred his promised remuneration of Rs 2 Lakh. Suddenly, he became trolled and was a matter of interest on the internet. He resorted to demanding more money simply because he gained popularity through trolls. We already discussed the same. Bala asked for a salary I wasn't able to afford, and if it was otherwise, I would have agreed to his demands. If I make a film with Bala again, I hope I will be able to offer him the money he demanded.” Adding on, he said, 
"Since this allegation has affected me personally, I decided to come out to clarify it. I have made two films as a producer so far, and I don't know what went wrong from the production side. I even encouraged Bala to dub for his role, hoping it could give him a break, despite disinterest from the film's director. The incident is like a character assassination and I want to make sure to reach out to people who love and trust me on this. I have nothing against Bala and I have no intention of moving forward legally. My friendship cannot be that brittle." 

To put it all together, actor Bala claimed that he and the technicians in Unni Mukundan's production of Shafeekinte Santhosham were not paid their dues. The problem was exaggerated, which led Unni Mukundan to reveal every bank activity. Key characters in the film include Unni Mukundan, Bala, Sminu Sijo, Shaheen Siddique, Divya Pilla, Athmeeya Rajan, Azeez Nedumangad, Manoj K Jayan, and Krishna Prasad. Eldho Isaac was in charge of the film's photography, and Shaan Rahman wrote the score. For the cast of the movie, Arun Manohar created the costumes.
