Shine Tom Chacko admitted to de-addiction centre

However, the film’s release announcement comes at a turbulent time for Shine Tom Chacko. The actor has recently been admitted to a de-addiction centre following allegations of drug use by his ‘Soothravakyam’ co-star Vincy Aloshious. Vincy filed a complaint with the Kerala Film Chamber, leading to Shine's arrest and subsequent confession during police questioning.
