Filmmaker Omar Lulu, known for stirring up debates in Malayalam cinema for over a decade, is back in the headlines. This time, it’s about a Facebook post he shared (and quickly deleted) concerning actress and producer Sheelu Abraham. The deleted post has sparked fresh controversy in the industry.

The Latest Buzz: Omar Lulu vs. Sheelu Abraham

The drama began during the promotions for Sheelu Abraham’s latest film, ‘Raveendra Neeye Evide?’. In an interview, Sheelu mentioned that Omar Lulu’s directorial venture, ‘Bad Boyz’, caused them significant financial losses. Omar Lulu’s deleted post was his sarcastic reply to her comments.

‘Bad Boyz’: A Box Office Disaster for Omar Lulu and Sheelu Abraham

Released during last Onam, ‘Bad Boyz’ was a film directed by Omar Lulu and produced by Sheelu Abraham’s husband, Abraham Mathew, under their banner Abam Movies. Despite featuring popular actors like Rahman, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Sheelu Abraham, Tini Tom, and Bibin George, the film failed miserably at the box office.

Sheelu Abraham recently revealed in an interview that ‘Bad Boyz’ led to huge financial setbacks for her. She even stated that she had to sell her home and properties due to the losses incurred, with some reports suggesting a loss of around Rs 1.5 crore. Her statements about the film’s failure quickly became a hot topic on social media.

Omar Lulu’s Deleted Post (The Sarcasm Unleashed)

Omar Lulu’s now-deleted post sarcastically praised Sheelu Abraham’s new film ‘Raveendra Neeye Evide?’ and its lead actors, Anoop Menon and Dhyan Sreenivasan. He implied that they had helped Sheelu regain what she lost due to ‘Bad Boyz’.

Here’s what the deleted post said:

“Respected people of the land, Hearty congratulations to Anoop Menon Chettan, who has been delivering industry hits in Malayalam cinema for a decade, and Dhyan Sir, who not only limited his talent to acting but also wrote four brilliant scripts for Malayalam cinema. They have given another industrial hit and helped the heroine and producer [Sheelu Abraham’s name] Madam regain her palace and five hundred acres that she lost through ‘Bad Boyz’.”

This post quickly went viral and ignited a huge debate. However, Omar Lulu later removed it from his Facebook page. When asked about it, he called it a “friendly sarcasm.” “She was sarcastic, and I was sarcastic too. It’s friendly sarcasm,” Omar Lulu stated.

Controversies Are Nothing New in Malayalam Cinema

Such public spats and controversies are not new to the film industry. Filmmakers often engage in arguments, whether for promotional purposes or due to personal disagreements. However, with the rise of social media, these issues quickly gain public attention and become major talking points.

Sheelu Abraham’s comments about ‘Bad Boyz’ and Omar Lulu’s subsequent sarcastic reply have once again fueled heated discussions in the Malayalam film world. Even though the post is deleted, the topic continues to be actively debated among film enthusiasts.
