Kochi, June 16, 2021: As the second covid-19 wave is slowing down, most of the states have started opening up and have allowed films and tv shoots to resume. However, the Kerala government is yet to grant permission for shootings in the state.

Now, filmmaker Alphonse Puthren, who rose to fame with Malayalam romantic drama, Premam (2015), has questioned the government on why film shootings are still not allowed in the state while other film industries have resumed work.



He took to social media and wrote, "Why is film shooting not allowed? If people who sell milk are allowed to work and people who sell food are allowed to work, why are film people not allowed to work? How do we eat food? How do we buy milk? How do we teach our children? How do we buy a pencil box for our children? How do we earn money?"

Alphonse clarified that when it comes to film shootings, even close-up shots require a certain distance to be maintained between the actors involved and the technicians.

"Cinema shooting doesn't happen like in cinema theatres. Even if we have to shoot a close-up or a wide shot we have to stand two meters away or more. So what logic are you telling here? Please think and tell me a solution. Thank you. Alphonse Puthren", he added.

On the work front, Alphonse's next Malayalam film is titled Paattu with Fahadh Faasil in the lead role. Paattu is his first film after Preman. Meanwhile, the filmmaker has also a script for superstar Rajinikanth.

In a recent interaction with fans on Facebook, he had said that he has a script ready for superstar Rajinikanth and would like to join hands with him for the project. He said that he tried to approach the actor after Premem but could not reach him and now, waiting for the right time to get to meet him. Stay tuned...
