Director Gopi Nainar , after 'Aram,' was directing the film 'Karuppar Nagaram.' The film is yet to be released due to some technical and distribution issues. After that, he completed directing the film 'Manushi' with Andrea Jeremiah as the heroine. However, this film too has been stuck in release due to protests from the Censor Board. Rajkamal alleges Gopi Nainar withheld salaries In this context, Gopi Nainar's former assistant director, Rajkamal, has made various shocking allegations against him. Speaking to the media, Rajkamal said, "I joined Gopi Nainar as an assistant director in 2018. I worked on the film 'Karuppar Nagaram.' Even after three years, I and the other four people have not received their salaries. If I asked questions, he made false promises, saying that he would give me a chance to act and that he would pay for my wedding," he alleged. Furthermore, he stated that Gopi Nainar had no role in his caste-defying marriage. Rajkamal claims Gopi Nainar's associates harassed him Rajkamal further said, 'When Gopi Nainar was the district secretary of the VVIP party, I joined and later received threats from him for belittling the party.

He also alleged that even at a peace meeting, people with criminal backgrounds were brought in and attacked. Gopi Nainar dismisses the accusations Responding to such complaints, Gopi Nainar said to Nakkheeran, "I have also filed a defamation case against him. The things he says should be said in court, not in front of the media. I have directed two films, 'Manushi' and 'Kaalani,' and no assistant director has complained like this one. Even in the meeting chaired by the AC, he did not answer any questions. It is not true that I was threatened in the video. This is an attempt against me," he said, confirming his stance.

Manushi Chhillar Reacts To Maalik's Underwhelming Box Office: 'Film Isn't Family-Friendly'
Manushi Chhillar says she'd love Maalik to be a blockbuster, but admits box office success depends on many uncontrollable factors beyond quality. Former Miss World and actor Manushi Chhillar has been wooing the audience with her acting career, and most recently, she was seen in Maalik co-starring Rajkummar Rao. But the recently released gangster drama has had rather underwhelming box office results, and Manushi is quite aware of it and doesn't shy away from accepting it. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Manushi opened up about the underwhelming box office performance of the film and shared how it doesn't bother her. When asked if the underwhelming box office ever impacts her, she said, 'With a movie like this? No, not really. Because as an actor, your job is to deliver the best, to be the character in the best possible way. One has to realise that many, many things create a blockbuster, and it's not just the quality of the film. And honestly, it is timing. Also, Maalik is not a family-friendly film. Maalik is A-rated. That automatically cuts down the audience." Manushi further continued and shared, for job satisfaction, 'You would love your film to be a blockbuster, but I would say that every film might not open to those numbers due to many, many reasons, which you don't have any control over." 'But I think I still feel very content as an actor because I know that I've done my job, and I've done it in the best possible manner," she explained. Further, while talking about how people are praising her performance in the film, she said, 'I can't tell you the number of people who have been reaching out to me after watching Maalik. And these are general people, not just loving Shalini, but loving the film. This is happening to me for the very first time. And when you know that people who watched the film have liked your character, it's a very big win." About Maalik Apart from Rajkummar Rao and Manushi Chhillar, the film also stars Saurabh Shukla and Saurabh Sachdeva in pivotal roles. Maalik is a hard-hitting tale of ambition, power, and survival. Directed by Pulkit, the film marks his first theatrical release. Known for his hard-hitting thrillers and emotionally charged dramas, the film is produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips Films banner, along with Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films.
