Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Nivin Pauly Scores Major Legal Win: Kerala Court Slaps Producer with Perjury Charges in Action Hero Biju 2 Drama! **Imagine facing fraud accusations from a producer who allegedly lied under oath just to drag you into court.** That's the nightmare Nivin Pauly dodged recently, as a Kerala court delivered a stunning blow to producer PS Shamnas in the heated *Action Hero Biju 2* dispute.[2][3] ## The Shocking Court Verdict That Turned the Tables On January 12, the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I at Vaikom ruled that Shamnas committed **perjury** by hiding key facts and making false statements under oath. The judge, Archana K Babu, called it "fraud upon the court," aimed at triggering a cheating FIR against Nivin Pauly and director Abrid Shine.[2][3][6] Shamnas had claimed he invested around ₹1.9-4 crore and was promised producer status, only for rights to allegedly go to a Dubai firm without his nod—leading to an FIR under IPC Sections 406, 420, and 34.[3][4] But here's the twist: The court uncovered an **ongoing commercial dispute** in Ernakulam with an injunction against Shamnas, directly contradicting his affidavit. This wasn't just oversight—it was deliberate, per the ruling.[1][3][6] Nivin's team had approached the Kerala High Court earlier, securing an interim stay on the fraud trial since August last year, with the next hearing set for March 12, 2026.[3][4]

## Why This Matters for Nivin and Malayalam Cinema Fans This isn't Nivin's first brush with legal relief—recall the police clearing him in a separate sexual assault probe.[5] Meanwhile, he's riding high professionally: His latest release *Sarvam Maya*, directed by Akhil Sathyan, has smashed ₹69.43 crore India net in 22 days, with Week 3 alone at ₹11.73 crore.[2] From *Premam* breakout to *Action Hero Biju* cop vibes, Nivin's star power remains unshaken amid industry battles over rights and investments.[4][5] The case highlights **rising tensions** in Mollywood: civil spats turning criminal, perjury risks, and High Court interventions to prevent misuse of law. It's ongoing—allegations aren't proven yet—but a win for transparency in film deals.[2][6] What do you think—will *Action Hero Biju 2* ever see the light of day?
