Although Jijo Punnoose has only directed a small number of films, the accomplishments he has made with them are very remarkable. According to current updates, his 1984 picture ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ is ready for a re-release in English under the title ‘Chota Chetan 3D.’
Sequences that were shot for the Cannes Film Festival’s exhibition have been added to the re-released version. Jijo Punnoose himself oversaw the production of the updated version of the movie, which will shortly be released in theatres this year.
The Malayalam film industry may still be proud of ‘My Dear Kuttichathan,’ which is regarded as the first Indian 3D movie. Jijo Punnoose, a mastermind who stepped forward and accomplished wonders with the fantasy drama picture, deserves all the credit. Raghunath Paleri wrote the story, while Lydian Nadhaswaram composed the music.
Jijo Punnoose decided against directing Mohanlal’s first film, ‘Barroz,’ because he was dissatisfied with how the script had been adjusted to appeal to Mohanlal’s fans. ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ will reportedly be released in English before ‘Barroz’ in theatres.
