Mohanlal
and
Sreenivasan
team
was
considered
as
a
winning
combination
by
many
filmmakers
for
a
long
time.
The
two
have
starred
in
many
films.
Their
film
Udayanannu
Tharam
was
a
super
hit.
In
fact,
Sreenivasan's
Padmasree
Bharath
Dr
Saroj
Kumar
was
set
to
be
the
sequel
to
Udayanannu
Tharam.
Sreenivasan
had
apparently
approached
Mohanlal
to
star
in
Padmasree
Bharath
Dr
Saroj
Kumar.
However,
Mohanlal
declined
the
offer
as
their
last
film
together
did
not
do
well
at
the
box
office.
It
is
now
being
speculated
that
in
his
film
Padmasree
Bharath
Dr
Saroj
Kumar,
he
deliberately
took
a
dig
at
Mohanlal
by
poking
fun
of
Mohanlal"s
age,
paunch,
IT
raids
in
his
house,
his
production
house
and
even
his
Colonel
status.
The
buzz
doing
the
rounds
is
that
Sreenivasan
had
taken
revenge
on
superstar
Mohanlal
by
picking
on
him
in
the
film
Mohanlal"s
confidant
Antony
Perumbavoor
reportedly
called
up
S
Kumar,
the
films
cinematographer
and
expressed
his
anger
over
the
remarks
made
on
Mohanlal.
However,
Sreenivasan
continues
to
say
that
the
film
was
only
a
satire
meant
in
good
humour
and
added
that
his
new
film
was
not
a
sequel
to
Udayanannu
Tharam.
