Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious alleges co-star misbehaved on movie set under drug influence

Malayalam actress Vincy Sony Aloshious has alleged that an unnamed co-star misbehaved with her on a movie set while under the influence of drugs.

Actress Aloshious, who recently attended an anti-drug awareness campaign, faced criticism after she stated that she would not work in movies which cast actors who use drugs.

She claimed to have received criticism from netizens on her statement. The actress shared a video on Instagram clarifying her decision not to work with actors using drugs on set is due to an unpleasant experience she had with her co-actor in her previous film.

“Some days back at an anti-drug campaign programme, I made a statement that I will not do movies again with people I know who use drugs. After this statement, there have been several comments. When I read those comments, I felt that I should clear certain things as to why I made such a statement. I am doing this video because I wanted to make my stand clear,” Aloshious said.

She alleged that a male co-actor misbehaved with her and a colleague under the influence of drugs during the movie's making. However, she did not name the male co-actor who had a problem with her dress in the film and publicly offered to come with her to fix it.

This behaviour made her uncomfortable to work on the set, the actress said.

"When I was part of a movie, an artist, a main artist who held that movie, this was the experience I had from that artist. The artist used drugs and misbehaved with me and my colleague. For example, when I had a problem with my dress, I went to correct it. He said," I will also come and correct it for you. “He said this in front of everyone. It was very difficult to go ahead with the shoot,” the ‘Rekha’ actress said.

She mentioned another incident where an actor made her uncomfortable under the influence of drugs.

“When we were practising a scene, he was spitting some kind of white powder onto the table. It was very evident that he was using drug on the film set,” Aloshious said.

She addressed the issue with the producers and continued with the project as the actor was the lead artist in the movie.

“Everyone knew about this , the director went and spoke . This is one person they took as main artist , so they had to somehow finish that movie,” the actress said.

Vincy Aloshious is known for films such Rekha, Vikruthi and Jana Gana Mana.
