Alphonse Puthren is a talented filmmaker in the South film industry. With the recently released movie Gold, which stars Nayanthara and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the actor made a comeback after a seven-year absence. Despite great anticipation and enthusiasm, the movie fell short of the audience's expectations. Audiences had high expectations for Gold because of Alphonse Puthren's filmography. But the movie fell short, and the filmmaker is now the target of jokes. For his Malayalam film Gold, the director is being ridiculed. He responded to trolls by writing a lengthy post on his social media and giving it back.
Alphonse Puthren wrote a lengthy letter on his Facebook page to call out the trolls who were attacking him for Gold. It read, "If you are trolling me and telling bad things about me and my film Gold for your satisfaction... it is good for you. Not for me. So I'm protesting by not showing my face in the internet. I'm not your slave or did not give rights to tease me or abuse me in public. So see my works if you like. And don't come into my page and show your anger. If you do so, I'll just become invisible in the internet. I'm not like before. I'll be true to myself first and then to my partner and my children and the people who really like me and stood beside me when I fell down. I will never forget the laugh in your faces when I fell down. No one falls on purpose. It happens by nature. So the same nature will protect me with the support. Have a great day."
The Malayalam drama is billed as an action-comedy. It was written, edited, and directed by acclaimed director Alphonse Putharen, who is well-recognized for his work on the 2015 romance movie Premam. After a lengthy absence of over seven years, Alphonse Puthren is back in the director's chair with this film.
