Alphonse Puthren, one of the most sought-after filmmakers of Malayalam cinema, has been on a break from the past 5 years. Earlier, the Premam director had announced that he is joining hands with Kalidas Jayaram for his next directorial venture. Recently, Alphonse Puthren finally confirmed that the much-awaited project is shelved.

In the recent interview given to Film Companion, the young filmmaker revealed that he was planning a musical drama with Kalidas Jayaram in the lead role, after the huge success of his last outing Premam. But he had to drop the project later, as the young actor decided to back out from the project since it took a long time to get materialised.
