# Biju Menon Sparks Controversy: Skips Promotions for 'Nadanna Sambhavam' Despite Producer's Pleas! **Imagine pouring your heart into a film that critiques toxic masculinity, only for your star to ghost the promotions.** That's the bombshell accusation from *Nadanna Sambhavam* producer Anoop Kannan against Malayalam superstar Biju Menon, igniting heated debates in Mollywood.[1] Released in 2024, *Nadanna Sambhavam* is a comedy-drama directed by Vishnu Narayan, starring **Biju Menon** as the affable Sreekumaran Unni, a marine engineer whose friendly nature sparks jealousy in a villa community.[2][3] The plot dives into marital tensions: Suraj Venjaramoodu plays Ajith, a chauvinist husband who neglects his wife Dhanya (Lijomol Jose) and suspects her growing bond with Unni, fueled by gossip from friend Lincoln (Sudhi Koppa).[1][2] Critics praised its exploration of marriage dynamics, with Biju Menon's breezy charm alongside Shruti Ramachandran as his wife Roshy stealing scenes, though some noted a bloated script and uneven humor.[3][4][5] But now, the post-release buzz isn't about the film's mixed-to-positive reviews (ratings around 3/5).[3][5] Producer Anoop Kannan claims he repeatedly tried coordinating with Biju Menon for promotions, but got **zero response**. Despite their long-standing friendship, Menon only showed up for a measly **2.5 hours**. "We share a great bond, but he ignored my requests," Kannan revealed in a recent interview, leaving fans wondering if star egos are clashing with team spirit.[6] This feud highlights a growing issue in Malayalam cinema: do A-listers owe promotions to indie projects that boost their versatile roles? *Nadanna Sambhavam* mocked moral policing and fragile egos on screen—ironic if real-life drama mirrors it off-screen.[4] Reviews lauded Menon's "grace and swagger" as Unni, a progressive husband, making his alleged no-show even more puzzling.[1][4]
