Heyy Sir,
What kind of films you like to make? Does it include all genres?? or just you like to stick on to a particular genre.

Hi Ashiq,
Thanks for visiting Forum Keralam.
When are you planning to start Gangster?

Hi ,
The movie daddy cool was put up as a father son relation based family movie..2nd haf deviated off and looked plastic and the movie ended up without the expected feel. Was the 2nd half a strategy to satisfy the fans or was there any particular intervention in the script???

Welcome Aashiq to FK!!

I liked your first movie 'Daddy Cool', it offered a different approach compared to usual way father-son relationships are portrayed in Malayalam. It had an excellent response in a multiplex here in bangalore for its first half., Second half was good too, but was a let down compared to the funfilled pre interval scenes.

Why did you go for the usual route of hero beating up villains and tried to cater to Mammukka's superstar image in second half. Were you compelled to do so, thinking of the star image?

[rozzes]

Is gangster (with Mammookka) a confirmed project?

One more question from my side.

Producer claims the movie made a loss of 30 lakhs. Is it true? Or did it cover the cost with all rights included. On hindsight do you think the song shot overseas was an unnecessary luxury?

Hi Ashiq,

Who are your influences as a Director? Any particular favourites?

[Ajnabi]

hellow Ashiq ji..
being a new comer, how was mammuukka's behaviour towards u? is he arrogant or rude in sets as heared ?
