After Nivin purportedly removed the posters for some of the previously announced movies from his social media accounts, his fans began to question if these projects had been scrapped. This led to the emergence of these media reports. Gangster of Mundanmala, Dolby Dineshan, Shekara Varma Raajavu, Thaaram, and Bismi Special are reportedly being withdrawn. Meanwhile, Shekara Varma Raajavu's director, Anuraj Manohar, who is well-known for his films Narivetta and Ishq, told OTTplay that this historical drama has been postponed and not cancelled. "It is a Nivin Pauly-backed film as well. Hopefully, next year will see the start of the project," he stated. 

On the other hand, Dolby Dineshan's maker, Thamar K V, said that the film has been shelved since another movie with a similar storyline has begun production. He also mentioned that he is working on another script that can't be announced now. Not all of these films have been cancelled, according to a person close to Nivin Pauly, and the actor is working on concurrent projects both in Malayalam and Tamil. However, the source refused to reveal why the actor deleted the posts in the first place.
