Venjaramoodu Murder Accused's Father Moves Kerala HC Against Film Release

• Abdal Rahim, father of A R Afan (accused in Venjaramoodu mass murder), petitioned Kerala High Court to stop the release of the film 'Kaalam Paranja Kadha'.
• Afan is accused of murdering his brother, uncle, aunt, and girlfriend, and attempting to murder his mother, in Venjaramoodu, Thiruvananthapuram.
• Rahim claims the film, directed by Prasad Nooranad, would lead to a media trial, influence witnesses, and harm Afan's right to a fair trial and the family's reputation.
• The petition seeks to restrain all promotional activities and content related to the film until the murder trial concludes.
• Director Prasad Nooranad denies any connection between his film and the Venjaramoodu case, stating it deals with a similar theme but is not based on the incident.
