Changing Times & Suresh Gopi

There is nothing time can't change: this eternal truth is the basic thread of the film, Paranju Theeraatha Viseshangal, directed by Harikumar.
Suesh Gopi is the lead character and Lakshmi Gopalaswami is the heroin.
Though the works of the film had started three years back, it won't reach the theaters for months. Shortage of funds is the main hurdle.
It was unusual for a serious film that was made mainly to suit the Panorama including a super star among the cast. But then Suresh Gopi was almost a retired star at the time the film production started. He gave the call sheet for just Rs 10 lakhs. And got an advance of 2 lakhs.
Though the shooting somehow progressed through months, no one willing to do the distribution could be found.
So the heroes remuneration was reduced to 8 lakhs. But even that amount was beyond the means of producers at that time. Anyway, Suresh Gopi did complete the schedule.
But refused to do the dubbing.
Then the producers paid, though reluctantly, half the remuneration. But that too failed to persuade the 'super star'.He made it pretty clear that nothing short of the full amount would do. But the producers were not in a position to raise that much amount.
So the film had no option but to go deep freezers.
It was then the miracle happened. As Bharatchandran IPS, Suresh Gopi staged a marvellous comeback. Thanks to the euphoria the success of Bharatchandran brought in, Suresh Gopi agreed to do away with the other half of the 'princely sum'.
Now who would say Suresh Gopi is not generous?!!
