Critically acclaimed Malayalam film director Jeo Baby has said that he would take legal action against Farook College in Kerala, after it cancelled an event where he was invited to speak, without giving him prior notice.
“The programme was announced and publicity was given in social media. As I was in the dark about the reasons. I got a letter from the college students union that they would not cooperate with the programme as my statements are against the moral values of the college. The union says my moral values are the reason for the cancellation of the programme,” said the director of Mammootty-starrer Kaathal-The Core.
The director, whose latest film features the protagonist as gay, has said that he felt insulted over the college’s action.
