I am still ready to do a movie with him. I have been out of the Malayalam industry for almost 10 years now. So when I am planning a new project, I will not be announcing it any time soon. I have already lost around one year because of Anjali Menon’s project.”

Regarding his Facebook posts, the actor said most people do not fully read the post or understand it. They simply jump into conclusions.

“Social media is a platform to raise one’s opinions and thoughts. If someone abuses my children then I will surely use swear words against them. There is a general notion among people that Prathap Pothen is insane and he takes drugs. I will not able to prove myself to each and everyone”, concluded Prathap Pothen.
