Soothravakyam is directed by debutant Eugien Jos Chirammel and features Vincy Aloshious, Shine Tom Chacko, and Deepak Parambol in lead roles. Scripted by Rejin S Babu and produced by Srikanth Kandragula under the Cinema Bandi banner.
The controversy began when Vincy Aloshious posted a video about her unpleasant on-set experience, where she stated her strong resolve not to work with actors who abuse substances.
The video quickly went viral, leading to widespread speculation about the identity of the accused co-star. After much online chatter, her official complaint confirmed that the actor she was referring to was Shine Tom Chacko, a well-known name in the Malayalam film industry.
The situation escalated further when an unrelated video of Shine allegedly attempting to leave a hotel under mysterious circumstances also went viral, adding fuel to public curiosity and concern.
Later, she withdrew the complaint she had previously filed against her Soothravakyam co-star Shine Tom Chacko, citing a deep sense of betrayal and broken trust.
