- When a reporter asked about his uniqueness
My name changed due to distributors. If I were a known director in India, no problem would have arisen. This is my first movie and a British work. The distributor is not interested in British films, of which Asians are unknown. So they asked me to change my surname to something prone to pronounce! Finally it was the creator that came with the English translation Touchriver of Thodupuzha (a place in Kerala)! ”
- He appeared in the Karmaveer episode (18 October 2019) of Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 (2019) with his wife Sunitha Krishnan.
