In a decisive legal victory for Malayalam star Nivin Pauly, the Vaikom First Class Judicial Magistrate Court has ordered the registration of a criminal case against film producer P.S. Shamnas. The court found merit in allegations that Shamnas utilized forged documents and false affidavits in a deliberate attempt to frame the actor in a high-stakes cheating case.

The conflict originated over the production rights for the upcoming sequel, Action Hero Biju 2. Shamnas had previously filed a complaint alleging that Nivin Pauly and director Abrid Shine defrauded him of ₹1.9 crores. He claimed that following their collaboration on Mahaveeryar, he was promised a co-production stake in the sequel that never materialized.

The tide turned when Nivin Pauly presented evidence suggesting the producer had misled the judiciary. The court noted that Shamnas committed perjury by swearing an affidavit claiming no other litigation was pending between the parties, despite an active case in the Ernakulam Commercial Court.

Furthermore, investigation into the documents submitted to the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce revealed that Shamnas allegedly forged Nivin Pauly’s signature. This was reportedly done to illegally register the film’s title under Shamnas’s banner, Indian Movie Makers, bypassing the actor's own production house.

Following these findings, the court directed the police to file non-bailable charges against the producer. This development follows a similar probe by the Palarivattom police, who had already booked Shamnas for forgery.

For Nivin Pauly, the ruling serves as a significant vindication. The actor has been vocal about the "calculated conspiracies" designed to damage his reputation. This case highlights a stern judicial stance against the misuse of legal machinery for personal vendettas, ensuring that those who manufacture fake cases face the full weight of the law.
