Premam director Alphonse Puthren has proved his mettle not just by directing but acting, editing and amongst many other areas as well. He had edited many Malayalam movie trailers including Vineeth Sreenivasan's directorial 'Thattathin Marayathu'.
Now, here’s why the director has hit the headlines again. He took to his Facebook and has apologised to director Rohit Shetty. The post read, “Long back I had said, I had a problem with Rohit Shetty about his expression of Tamil in Chennai Express.”
He continued, “That was my personal opinion. I’m sure he had no intentions to hurt Tamilians. Because I have heard that he used to take films inspired from Shankar Sir’s songs and action scenes. So, I’m sorry for that comment of mine, sir.”
Alphonse added, “Now I want to say a good thing about Singham 2nd part . There is a scene where a mother shouts at Singham about taking money from political parties. That scene made me cry. I liked that scene where the hero loses to a mother. In my entire film viewing history I have never seen a scene like that . And I respect you sir for that thought and execution of the scene and film.” On the ending note, he said, “I like most of your films sir - Golmaal series, Singham series, Simmba and I’m waiting for Suryavanshi sir. Forgive this younger brother."
