''SHOULD I TAKE A FILM LIKE MANKATHA OR A WORLD CLASS FILM?''

On May 21st, Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal's birthday, a fan urged Premam director Alphonse Puthren to take a movie like Mankatha with Mohanlal as the lead actor. Alphonse Puthren, a die hard fan of Mohanlal replied in style.

He said "To me, Lalettan (Mohanlal) is higher than Clint Eastwood, Toshiro Mifune, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Should I take a film like Mankaatha or a world class film?"

Earlier Alphonse had said that before shooting the college introduction scene of Nivin in Premam, he had made them watch Mohanlal's opening scene in Spadikam. Alphonse was also the editor of Mohanlal's super hit Priyadarshan film Oppam's trailer.
