Velipadinte Pusthakam

 * ... that Shikkar was supposed to be directed by Lal Jose, but his first collaboration with Mohanlal only materialised with the upcoming movie Velipadinte Pusthakam? Sources:
 * ALT1:... that the upcoming film Velipadinte Pusthakam will be the first collaboration between director Lal Jose and actor Mohanlal?

 * Thanks a lot for reviewing this, as this was long overdue. The very first question asked to Jose in says that he was supposed to direct a movie called Balaraman which was later made as Shikkar by M Padmakumar. Please go through the reference again if you can, as that is a fact that most people would not have known. If you are still not convinced, I would be okay with ALT1.

 * I may not be looking in the right place; what I'm seeing is: "What went wrong with the earlier Mohan Lal projects?" "The first one was ‘Balaraman’. The idea by S Sureshbabu was later changed to Shikkar by M Padmakumar." I guess I feel like Jose isn't really answering the question there; he doesn't say why "the idea ... was changed", and the inclusion feels confusing to me without some explanation of, as the interviewer says, "what went wrong." I don't come away from that quote with a clear understanding that Jose "was supposed to" direct Shikkar or of why he ultimately did not, and I think many other readers would feel similarly dubious.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 02:35, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks anway Bryanrutherford0. Though I still find it a little harsh, I am fine with ALT1.  Jupitus Smart  03:00, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
