The news came out last day that a young man who came with the desire to act in a movie was threatened with a contract and acted in an obscene film. A native of Venganoor, this young man had spoken in front of the media against the OTT platform and the web series director. A similar incident happened in Kerala years ago. Anish Upasana has also directed a film based on it. Matney was Anish Upasana’s first film. Aneesh Upasana openly said in an interview to Vanitha that the story of the Maqbool Salman-starrer film actually happened. A young man who dreamed of acting in a movie was tricked into acting in a movie. Eventually it destroys his life and the family is thrown into disarray – that’s Matney’s story. This is what the director says about this film. I feel happy when the story of a film directed by me happens after many years and it is discussed. But I feel disappointed. It is a serious matter that such incidents are still happening. I have heard similar news in Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad. But I didn’t think it would happen in Kerala, which claims to be very knowledgeable people. I got only one thread while making Matinee. The film was made as a warning. Many people who narrowly escaped such fraud have called me after watching the movie.
