Santhosh Pandit is euphoric! Though he had to raise funds by selling his house and property, the film “Krishnanum Radhayum” brought him enormous profits.
And now he is thinking aloud again!
“The mission was successful but some money is still pending and some theater owners have not given me proper accounts. But I am very happy and the shooting of the second film is going on. Almost half the work is completed. I had to change the name. I should not have announced the name in advance. The name “Jithubhai enna Chocolate Bhai” was registered by some wicked persons and I cannot use the name anymore. So the name was changed to “Super Star Santhosh Pandit”. Some changes were made in the original story as well”
As far as Pandit is concerned, he has nothing to lose or anything to feel bad about. His debut movie is still running in some theaters and the second movie is getting ready. There is an offer for a third film from none other than Antony Perumbavoor who has threatened to make a satirical movie , 'Saroj Kumar' on Sreenivasan with Santhosh Pandit as the protagonist.
Santhosh is ready to accept the offer. But he wanted to know why critics were tearing him to pieces when there was nothing remotely resembling any particular person in his film and why the same people are keeping quiet on this controversial movie. “There were no obscene or sleazy scenes either in my film. Is it because I am a rookie that they can browbeat me? I will not back out. That is the reason the work has already been started on the next film. They can criticize but it should be impartial and not based on personalities”.
“Padmashree Bharath Dr. Saroj Kumar” is a movie directed by Sajin Raghavan and starring Sreenivasan who has also written the story. The film is accused of being highly critical against some super stars and the controversy surfaced when Antony Perumbavoor, a close associate of Mohanlal, talked very rudely to the film’s cameraman S.Kumar regarding the movie. Sreenivasan too came out against this tirade from Perumbavoor. Antony Perumbavoor had reportedly warned that he would make a film about Sreenivasan with Santhosh Pandit. Some people even wonder whether the entire drama was carried out with the tacit approval of Mohanlal. Though the makers of Saroj Kumar claim that the film is not a sequel to “Udayananu Tharam”, the general feeling is that it is based on the earlier movie.
Notably, Superstar Mohanlal does not have a role in the new movie.
