ACTOR JOJU George on Thursday demanded that the agreement he signed for his role in Churuli be made public, as fresh controversy erupted over the film. This came in response to filmmaker Lijo Jose Pellissery's social media post stating that the actor was paid ₹5.9 lakh for a "three-day guest appearance" in the film.

Addressing mediapersons in Kochi, Joju said he agreed to act in Churuli under the impression that a version with abusive language would be used only for festival screenings. "I was told it was for festivals. Later, the same version was released on OTT and monetised. If Lijo is now saying I was paid ₹5.9 lakh, he should also publish the agreement," Joju said.
