Cyberattacks controversy leads to police complaint
Producer Sandeep Senan had filed a police complaint alleging targeted cyberattacks against Vilayath Buddha. The complaint, lodged at the Ernakulam North Police Station, accuses a YouTube channel of spreading “religious and political hatred” in the name of a film review. According to Senan, the reviewer distorted the storyline to create social polarization and fuel coordinated online hostility against the film and its lead actor. The video reportedly branded the film as politically motivated and made personal attacks on Prithviraj, escalating the issue beyond cinema.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
