Sam George Abraham revealed that he faced questions like 'Why are you doing a film with Unni Mukundan as the lead actor?' during the initial stages of the film.
He said that Unni was a good friend who would come and pull everyone together when things looking bad, without any fuss or ego, during the shooting. The response was through a Facebook post.
Full translated text of the post:
"The journey of past 15 months with Unni Mukundan as the co-producer of Get-Set Baby!
My first film venture, Get Set Baby, is set to release on February 21st. I have faced many questions from my film friends even as the initial steps of the film were being taken.
Why are you making a film with Unni Mukundan in the lead role?
Will anyone make a film with Unni?
This much budget for an Unni film?
Unni's politics are not right, it will seriously affect the film.
Unni will not compromise on anything. He will not be supportive.
Unni will have sudden mood swings, which will seriously affect the film. In the end, you will have to commit suicide.
As a beginner, I went into this project with many unanswered questions and concerns. I think what I felt about Unni Mukundan during my journey in this film for the past 15 months will answer the above questions.
Unni Mukundan is a gem of a person. Behind that strong muscles and big body, there is a very simple, humble, cute, a personality beloved by everyone, like our own boy next door.
You will understand that if you spend a few days with Unni. Unni's biggest quality is that he brings those around him together. That is something unseen in this industry. He is really down to earth.
During the shoot, many times when things got out of hand, I saw a good friend, a good man who came and brought everyone together without any star ego. In that warmheartedness, you get the positive energy to overcome your worries and face anything. This is Unni's biggest quality, and this is how Unni's parents raised him to be.
What really surprises me is, how come someone like this have so many opponents? I don't know why there is so much hostility towards Unni. However, on this occasion, I remember a dialogue from the blockbuster film 'Marco' starrting Unni himself.
"Since I arrived, all the wolves have been grouping up to attack me... Now I alone need remain here." I believe that Unni said this dialogue from a personal place.
I see people praising Unni and his film Marco in social media. These were same people who declared earlier that they will never work with Unni Mukundan. This is the mark of time. Unni's hard work.
I am thanking Unni a thousand times for the support and love he gave for this project. I wish Unni all the best for his future career. May he go far ahead. May Unni get a worthy place in Indian cinema. There is a dialogue in Get Set Baby that Unni says "If we work sincerely, God will be with us" that is what has brought Unni to this level in Malayalam cinema today.
With much much love
Love u bro. God bless
Sam"
