'Dussehra' villain apologizes to the media

A war of words broke out at the ‘Sutravakyam’ promotion event after Dussehra actor Shine Tom Chacko reacted to the controversy surrounding actress Vinci Aloysius. Chacko… responded to the allegations against him. Vinci had earlier accused Chacko of misbehaving inappropriately during a film shoot and had even filed a complaint with the Malayalam Film Chamber. Chacko decided to apologize to the media at the event. But it didn’t go as easily as he had expected.

“I didn’t mean it, I just did it as a joke,” Chacko said while apologizing. Vinci, who was next to him, also spoke up. “I was shocked and embarrassed that day. I didn’t expect such behavior from him,” she said. She said that her reaction may have hurt his family, but she also said that the incident was true. Chacko again said, “I didn’t think I would do such a thing. If I hurt you.. I’m sorry…” Vinci, who said that he had changed, made it clear that she would stand by the incident.

In April, Vinci said that she did not want to file a police case and that the film industry should resolve the issue. She said that she would continue in the industry and make her voice heard and would not back down. She expressed disappointment that seniors did not care about such incidents. Even though Chacko publicly apologized, she made it clear that she would not withdraw her complaint. The controversy has once again focused attention on the rules in the Malayalam film industry.

Now the industry is taking a strict approach to drug use on film sets. If a person is caught with drugs during a shoot, the person is removed from the project. Moreover, actors have to give written permission for drug use before the shoot begins. With the developments surrounding these issues, it is clear that the industry can no longer turn a blind eye and needs to take appropriate action.
