Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious made startling allegations against top actor Shine Tom Chacko accusing him of coming to the sets under the influence of the drugs.
She said “It is a different matter to use or not use drugs in personal life. But when it is used on the sets of a film and it becomes a cause of trouble for others, it is not easy to work with such people. I am not interested in working with such people.”
She added “While on location, when there was a minor problem with the shoulder of my costume, the actor came up to me and said it out loud, ‘Let me see, I’ll fix it for you.’ On another occasion, while practising a scene, I saw him spitting out a white powder. It was clear to me that he was using drugs and that he was using them on set,"
However later, she decided to withdraw her compliant against the actor. She said “I made it clear to the authorities that the lead actor’s name should not be made public. It is a breach of trust. One person’s mistake is now going to affect an entire movie. This should not happen. This is why I refrained from publicly naming the actor. I am extremely grateful for the support I received from cinema organisations. The actor should not be denied work as he is massively talented. Let’s allow him to rectify his mistakes.”
Now she said she is against taking legal action against Shine Tom Chacko. She said "I was under the impression that the general secretary of the film chamber had revealed the accused's name despite my request to keep the complaint confidential. However, I would like to offer my apologies to Saji Nanthiyattu and will co-operate with the monitoring committee led by the film chamber."
It is known that Shine Tom Chacko who was arrested in drugs case is now out on bail.
