As a woman and a feminist, she stands in solidarity with Liju Krishna. Ranjini notes that she believes that in today’s political climate, every false case that is fabricated destroys the real victims of injustice. Below are the relevant parts of the post:

“The following are the three main allegations made by the WCC.
1. Allegation of Script Writing and Allegation of Acting as Assistant Director. As far as I know, the person in question met Liju for the first time through social media in the month of March 2020. By this time, 85% of the shooting of the film Padavet was completed in three schedules, along with its post-production work.
All the technicians, including my husband Govinda Vasantha, and other key actors had a hard copy of the script in 2019 even before the shoot.
All the cast and crew members were part of the agreement with Sunnywein Productions from the month of December 2019 itself. Even the free-of-cost collaborators in the film were part of such agreements. Later when Sarigama Production House took over the film, their legal team audited the agreements and later rewrote them. But the person making the allegation was not involved in any such agreement. And when I personally spoke to the film’s directorial team, production team, and lead actors, they were all unanimous in their unanimity that such a variety has never been done at any stage of a film. Also, neither my husband nor I have ever seen a person work like this.
Apart from the crew members, you will be convinced if you ask the entire people of the village of Malur who worked in front of and behind the camera.
So if it is not a workplace harassment, then on what basis WCC decided to take up this case.
2. ICC was not present during the shooting of the film.
To my knowledge the first ICC in Malayalam cinema was formed on Feb 8, 2022 for the film “1744 White Alto” directed by Senna Hegde. After this, in March 2022, there will be an order of the Honorable Kerala High Court that “there should be an ICC committee in every movie set in Kerala”. Therefore, this allegation against the film Padavet, which had completed 100% shooting before this order, is also not tenable.

3. Allegation of harassment against Liju
I do not want to discuss this case as it is pending before the court.
Let the truth prevail!”
Liju has alleged that director Geethu Mohandas is trying to defame him. Liju made the allegation in a press conference called after the release of the film. Liju alleged that Geethu Mohandas was psychologically stalking her, that he had continuously campaigned against the film, and that despite cooperating with the investigation of the sexual assault case against him, he had colluded with the WCC to erase even his name from the film.
