Kochi: Actor Soubin Shahir has been granted an extension to appear before the investigation team in connection with the financial fraud case related to the movie Manjummel Boys. He has now been asked to appear on June 27 instead of the initially scheduled date this Friday.
Police had earlier submitted an investigation report against the producers of Manjummel Boys, stating that they had allegedly committed planned fraud and misled the complainant into believing that the first phase of the project was complete.
Despite the producers’ plea to dismiss the financial fraud case, the High Court allowed the police to continue the investigation. The complaint was filed by Siraj Valiyathura from Maradu, who alleged that he invested nearly ₹7 crore in the project and was denied his profit share.
The producers, however, claimed that they were unable to pay the promised amount on time due to financial constraints and delays in the shooting schedule, leading to further losses.
