Filmmaker Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval has landed in hot water after costume designer Liji Preman accused him of mental harassment on the set of his latest movie. Now, art director Anoop Chalissery claims that Ratheesh Balakrishnan has unjustly denied another production designer his due credit. Anoop alleges that Ajay Mangad, who had done almost all the set work for Nna Thaan Case Kodu, was not credited in the film's title card.
As a result, the production designer lost the chance to compete for awards in that category. Sharing Liji’s interview that appeared on Manorama Online, Anoop wrote a scathing post on his social media page, accusing Ratheesh Balakrishnan of unethical conduct. His post begins by addressing costume designer Liji and appreciating her decision to take legal action, referring to the movie Nna Thaan Case Kodu directed by Ratheesh.
“The truth will definitely come out. The tears of those who were snubbed wouldn’t cease; instead, they would always be heard loud. I stand with you in this fight for justice.

Malayalam cinema and the technicians from this industry are garnering praise from around the world.
So, let me tell the.
