Super star is not a position granted by any authority. A large number of audience cheering to see live or doing sacrifices to see him in his films can be considered as the criteria to be a super star.
No crowded audiences can be seen in theatres now. But we saw a crazy audience standing in queue for tickets for Krishnanum Radhayum in ticket counters.
Then who says that he is not a super star.
Of course, he is a one man army. How did he make a nest in the minds of the younger generation?
That is Santhosh Pandit !
When we know that he sold one of his houses received inherited out for raising fund for producing a picture in which all roles from the location boys to the director all put their fingers on their noses with wonder. As he had to appear before the camera, he had to depend on a camera man’s help.
Many films, including the first film of Super star Mohanlal have not yet seen light. They are still in boxes. But Krishnanum Radhaym, the first adventurous attempt of Santhosh Pandit proved it a great success. Now some big budget films have to face setback in box office. But the theatres where Krishnanu Radhayum showed witnessed a crowded audience that could not be seen for along period of time. Medias reported that police had to control the enthusiastic audience.
Can threat or influence attract audience? Never! There are many fan groups for Malayalam supers stars also. They say that a huge amount is spent for making a super star film a grand success. But result is getting negative. We have to evaluate Santhosh Pandit’s attempt in this situation. He lost one of his houses. But his gain is many folds of its value.
