Producer claims he invested ₹7 crore in film

The complaint came from Siraj Valiathara Hameed, who says he put in ₹7 crore for the movie but never got his share of profits.
Shahir and Antony now face serious charges like conspiracy, breach of trust, and forgery under several sections of the Indian Penal Code.
Police are also looking into their financial dealings for possible mismanagement during production.
