While actor and producer Dulquer Salmaan and his production house continue to bask in the success of their latest project Lokah, the production house has recently found itself embroiled in controversy. A woman has allegedly filed a complaint claiming that she was subjected to a casting couch incident involving director Dhinil Babu, who claimed to have an association with the company.
The woman alleged that Dhinil Babu got in contact with her under the pretext of offering a role in a Wayfarer Films production. She further claimed that he invited her to meet at a building near the company’s Panampilly Nagar office. Upon meeting, the woman claimed that Dhinil took her into a room where he attempted to assault her, and threatened that she would be blacklisted from future opportunities in the Malayalam film industry if she resisted his advances.
