Thalapathy Vijay revealed that Malayalam director Alphonse Puthren expressed his desire to make his son, Sanjay, the lead in a film project. Despite Vijay’s admiration for the story narrated by Puthren, Sanjay declined the offer and requested a two-year wait to decide whether to pursue acting or work behind the camera. However, Puthren still hopes for a future collaboration with Vijay. Meanwhile, Puthren is preparing for his comeback project, ‘Gift,’ after the release of ‘Gold’ starring Prithviraj Sukumaran.
