Actor Dileep’s Ramaleela is due to release on September 28, after it was already delayed for over two months following the arrest of its lead actor in connection to the actress abduction case. A call to boycott the film has been gaining traction on social media, while the filmmakers are confident that all the controversies around Dileep won’t affect the film’s fate at the box office.

Recently actor-director Vineeth Sreenivasan has come up supporting the screening of the film."Some people are shouting out loud their opinions and views, claiming that they are doing it for justice. But it will only bring harm to individuals and society as a whole. Arun Gopy is big in his own way. I think his film will reflect it. I will watch Ramaleela, that's for sure," said Vineeth Sreenivasan.
