'Together, they have given yet another industry hit' director Omar Lulu takes a dig at Sheelu Abraham’s new film; deletes post

Director Omar Lulu created a stir on social media after taking a pointed jab at actress and producer Sheelu Abraham in connection with her upcoming film Raveendra Nee Evide?.In a now-deleted post, Omar compared the film’s success to his own project Bad Boys, implying that the cast of the new movie — especially Anoop Menon and Dhyan Sreenivasan — had helped Sheelu recover everything she supposedly lost from their previous collaboration.

“Respected fellow citizens,” Omar began sarcastically, “congratulations to Anoop Menon chettan, who has been delivering only industry hits in Malayalam cinema for a decade, and to Dhyan sir, who didn’t just confine his talent to acting but also gifted Malayalam cinema with four noteworthy scripts. Together, they have given yet another industry hit and helped our actress and producer Sheelu madam reclaim the royal mansion and 500 acres she lost with Bad Boyz.

A thousand congratulations!”

‘Friendly sarcasm,’ says Omar

Before deleting the post, Omar also interacted with users in the comments. When one user asked whether Sheelu herself had taken a sarcastic dig at the loss from Bad Boys, Omar replied, “She was sarcastic, so I was too. This is friendly sarcasm.” Though he later pulled down the post, screenshots were already making rounds on social platforms, sparking widespread speculation and amusement.

Meanwhile, for the unversed, the Omar Lulu's remarks are in connection with Sheelu Abraham's statements about producing his film 'Bad Boyz', in an interview, which flopped at the box office.
