FEFSI Union President RK Selvamani had already issued a statement saying that no film and small screen shootings should happen.

There were seven contestants and other crew members like cameraman, technicians, and other production staff. They said 95 days of the show have been completed and they needed five more days to complete the 100-day episode but we refused the permission.

The set was sealed and we have imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh,” Thiruvallur Revenue Divisional Officer Preethi Parkavi who reached Bigg Boss Malayalam 3 sets told Indianexpress.com.
