It all began when Dileep became reluctant to star in the new film that Tulasidas was directing. The actor was already busy with the much-delayed AMMA project '20-20'. He has also had a series of flops in the recent past. The credibility of director Tulasidas as a hit filmmaker is very questionable. It isn't clear if Dilpee was planning to quit the film.

But, angered by the star's reluctance, Tulasidas filed a complaint against the actor with MACTA. The association under Vinayan's leadership, wasted no time in banning Dileep from Malayalam films.

This time around, the Producers' Council wasn't going to watch the incident quietly. During their recent meeting in the state, they announced that they were going to support Dileep in this ordeal and threatened to completely halt the production of all the films if MACTA didn't withdraw the ban.

The Council claims that it has AMMA's support in this issue.

MACTA hasn't replied yet.
