Controversies
In April 2025, lead actress Vincy Aloshious filed a formal complaint against co-star Shine Tom Chacko, alleging misconduct during the shooting of Soothravakyam. She claimed that Chacko behaved inappropriately under the influence of drugs, including making sexually explicit comments and offering unsolicited assistance with her costume. Aloshious also reported witnessing Chacko spitting out a suspicious white powder on set. She initially shared her experiences in an Instagram video before submitting a complaint to the Film Chamber and the film's Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).[2]
Subsequently, actress Aparna John corroborated Aloshious's allegations, describing Chacko's behavior on set as disturbing and laced with sexual connotations.[3]
Shine Tom Chacko later appeared before the ICC, where he apologized and expressed willingness to accept its decision. Producer Srikanth Kandragula supported the inquiry process and criticized the lack of promotional cooperation from both Chacko and Aloshious.[4]
