Alphonse
Puthren,
one
of
the
most
sought-after
filmmakers
of
Malayalam
cinema,
has
been
on
a
break
from
the
past
5
years.
Earlier,
the
Premam
director
had
announced
that
he
is
joining
hands
with
Kalidas
Jayaram
for
his
next
directorial
venture.
Recently,
Alphonse
Puthren
finally
confirmed
that
the
much-awaited
project
is
shelved.
In
the
recent
interview
given
to
Film
Companion,
the
young
filmmaker
revealed
that
he
was
planning
a
fun
entertainer
with
Kalidas
Jayaram
in
the
lead
role,
after
the
huge
success
of
his
last
outing
Premam.
But
he
had
to
drop
the
project
later,
as
the
young
actor
decided
to
back
out
from
the
project
since
it
took
a
long
time
to
get
materialised.
However,
Alphonse
Puthren
is
in
no
mood
to
put
the
blame
on
Kalidas
Jayaram
and
revealed
that
it
was
he
who
asked
the
actor
to
move
on.
According
to
the
hitmaker,
Kalidas
had
already
signed
around
10
projects
at
that
time
and
there
was
no
point
in
waiting
for
his
project
in
such
a
situation.
But,
the
fans
of
Alphonse
Puthren
and
netizens
feel
that
Kalidas
Jayaram
made
a
wrong
move
by
deciding
to
quit
the
much-awaited
project.
Interestingly,
even
the
diehard
fans
of
Kalidas
Jayaram
are
not
quite
happy
with
the
film
choices
of
the
National
award-winner.
The
fans
feel
that
the
actor
is
refusing
to
be
a
part
of
the
new
wave
in
Malayalam
cinema
by
rejecting
films
like
Aashiq
Abu's
Virus
and
Alphonse
directional.
They
are
now
urging
the
actor
to
reinvent
himself
with
different
subjects
and
characters,
instead
of
only
choosing
the
commercial
potboilers
like
his
father
Jayaram.
Coming
back
to
Alphonse
Puthren,
the
filmmaker-editor's
is
currently
learning
music
for
his
upcoming
directorial
venture,
which
is
said
to
be
a
musical
drama.
Even
though
he
refrained
from
revealing
more
details
about
the
project,
the
director
hinted
that
it
will
be
entirely
different
from
his
last
two
outings,
Neram
and
Premam.
