Wont do any more movies with the superstars : Sreekumaran Thampi

Sreekumaran Thampi is one of the most senior and respected filmmakers in Mollywood. He is also a producer, screenwriter and a lyricist. He has directed a number of super hit movies with the then superstars of Malayalam cinema.

The veteran director has now taken a decision not to make movies with superstars. This is because these stars are not willing to give dates for new projects.

He accused that even actors who had made their debut through his movies are not giving him dates. The director says, nowadays cinema is not in the hands of directors or producers. Stars are the ones who decide the proceedings. Every prominent star has made a comfortable group for himself.

Sreekumaran Thampi is now working in serials, where he says there are no superstars. He says, even if there any such stars he can easily kill of their character. But that is not possible in film industry.

Sreekumaran Thampi had made some wonderful movies like Bandhukkal Shathrukkal, Nayaattu, Kanakkum Kavithayum, Gaanam, Mohiniyattam, Thiruvonam etc.

He was honoured with the Vallathol award this year for his contributions and works in poetry.
