Harish attacked actor Shine Tom for criticizing actress Samyukta for not attending the promotion of ‘Boomerang’. Harish Peradi said that if there are any work-related problems, they should be resolved legally or by discussion with the trade unions, and should not have been shown in front of the public with contempt and abject male antics.
“If there is a violation of employment contracts, it should be resolved legally or through negotiation with the trade unions. And not by displaying the abject male antics of disparaging a girl, an actress who is a role model for the society, who cut her own caste tail and took a brave stand. Shine becomes a mere male, a mere Tom Chacko without the Shining, when he becomes a compound rational female. With the hope that Shine will be corrected..?”- said Harish Peradi.
Shine came forward against Samyukta in a press conference held as part of the promotion of the movie ‘Boomerang’. “Once we undertake a task, we have a duty to complete it. Why didn’t they come for the promotion of this movie?” – asked Shine Tom. Shine Tom Chacko’s response was in addition to Samyukta’s statement that he will not use caste name with his name.
“Not coming to the promotion of the film done just because the name has been changed will not be good. Be it a Menon, a Nair, a Christian or a Muslim, what is the point of not completing the work done. Human should be recognized. Isn’t that what you get after coming to earth? They will not come for any small films. Only those who cooperated have survived. Not a lack of commitment. They do not come because they think that the work done has gone badly. ‘ – said Shine Tom.
