Amjath, who made his acting debut with
the film Kathiri Veyil, is being subjected
to police enquiry following an alleged
kidnap and extortion complaint. The actor,
who also produced Kathiri Veyil, was angry
with the film’s director Rupesh Paul following
the film turning out to be a dud at the
box office.
In order to make good the losses he had
incurred, Amjath decided to kidnap Rupesh
and extort Rs. 20 lakhs. He worked out
a plan and kidnapped Rupesh along with
three of his accomplices. Rupesh’s family
finally handed over Rs. 20 lakhs to procure
his release. This was disclosed during
the police investigation.
It is worth mentioning here that Rupesh
had directed the Malayalam film Laptop
with Suresh Gopi, which turned out to
be a hit before directing Kathiri Veyil.
