Thilakan receives anonymous threats

Veteran actor Thilakan who is presently engaged in a verbal war with the top people in Malayalam film industry, lodged a complaint with the Alappuzha South about a threatening call he received. Citing his life to be under threat, the actor says that an anonymous person called him repeatedly and threatened him that he will be killed in a week. The voice in the phone is also reported to have asked Thilakan who was he to find faults with the superstar Mammootty.

Thilakan, who was at that time having dinner at a restaurant in Alappuzha, immediately lodged a complaint at the nearby police station. With the threatening calls coming up, the issue between Thilakan and association of stars and technicians is taking a new turn. This is for the first time that such an issue has gone public to the extent of threatening calls.

The present fight started with Thilakan and a group of actors like Mala Aravindan, Sphadikam George and Captain Raju joining the sets of director Vinayan's new movie 'Yakshiyum Njanum'. It was also then rumoured that the artists association (AMMA) has secretly banned anybody from acting in the film of Vinayan, who was warring with the newly formed technicians association, FEFKA.

Shortly thereafter, Thilakan was expelled from the new multistarrer 'Christian Brothers' directed by Joshy. Thilakan then accused it as the plot of FEFKA and AMMA and raised his voice against a superstar alleging that he was against all the issues, though he refused to name him. No one in the industry had a clue on what forced the veteran who was recently seen with Mammootty in a prominent role for the new movie 'Drona 2010', to explode.

And then, AMMA got involved in the issue and called for explanation and apology within a week, from Thilakan regarding his unwarranted statements. Now the entire industry and the public is in the waiting to see whether the actor will oblige to AMMA's demands.
