A New Indian Express report claimed the actor filed a complaint with Kerala Police chief Loknath Behera against the ad filmmaker-turned director, alleging that she was humiliated by him on social media and he even threatened her friends. Sources told the website that Manju had also handed over digital evidence to substantiate her complaint.
“I was a victim of a cyber attack on social media after the release of Odiyan. Since then, I used to get defamatory messages. Though I had overcome this crisis, Menon is again creating trouble against me. Now, I am afraid that he may harm me,” the report quoted Manju from the complaint.
Responding to Manju Warrier’s complaint, Sreekumar Menon on Facebook wrote, “Did you forget that I was the only one person who helped you during difficult times? How quickly you forgot the relationships and friendships that you made through me? Mathew Samuel is a close friend of mine; why is that irritating Manju?.”
