Johnpaul George Aashaan Movie director delivers a shocking reality check regarding the lack of basic ‘batta’ and financial security for FEFKA Assistant Directors in Malayalam cinema.

During the exclusive Kochi preview event of the film ‘Aashaan’, director Johnpaul George (celebrated for ‘Guppy’ and ‘Ambili’) took a bold stand for the labor rights of his crew. Johnpaul George stated that while the industry celebrates stars, the Assistant Directors—whom he calls the “first directors” of every film—are often denied even their basic daily allowances. This statement by Johnpaul George carries immense weight as Aashaan, starring Indrans and Joemon Jyothir, is a film dedicated to the dreams of cinephiles and the behind-the-scenes reality of Mollywood.

With the film currently running in theaters under the banner of Guppy Cinemas and Wayfarer Films, the advocacy of Johnpaul George for his technical team highlights the soul of the project. This exclusive coverage by BTF Productions captures the full unfiltered speech where Johnpaul George challenges the industry’s existing financial hierarchies.
