Gautham Menon
Indian Director
Even when 'Kaakha Kaakha' was released, there were people who gave it an average rating and said they couldn't figure out what was happening. Three days after its release, the producer called me and asked me to remove all of Jothika's scenes from the film. I told him; in that case, you can also remove my name from the director's slot.
Quote examples
Divya Dutta
Indian Actress
I have played different characters in different films and that versatility has worked to my benefit. I don't have to worry about the top or the bottom slot. My place is made in the industry and it's a wonderful one, believe me.
Quote examples
Takashi Miike
Japanese Director
