Lyricist Kaithapram says Dileep once removed him from writing song for movie, says actor has poor opinion about his writing

In a recent interview to a media house, famous lyricist, Kaithapram Damodharan Namboothiri said that he was removed from writing a song for a movie by Dileep. Moreover, Kaithapram stated that Dileep said let another Namboothiri write the song. Kaithpram added that he will never forget the incident for the rest of his life.

The lyricist said that the unfortunate incident took place during the song writing for the movie Thilakam, in which Dileep, Kavya Madhavan and Bhavana did the lead roles. Dileep intervened after he had completed one song and was going to write another one. Dileep seems to have a poor opinion about him said Kaithpuram.

The songwriter said that this shows Dileep’s lack of respect to Gurus and that he will pray for a change in the actor’s attitude.

He said that Dileep is still in the hangover of the songs in the movie ‘E Puzhayum Kadannu’. Those were good songs, but Dileep has forgotten the rest. Kaithapram recalled that he had written songs for many movies in which Dileep was the main character. Still, Dileep forgot all those songs and decided to remove him. Kaithapram stated that he had written songs for 460 movies and Dileep intervenes to remove him from one movie.

Kaithapram continued that these were the follies of movie stars, which might result in displeasure and curse from Gurus. The songwriter accused such actors of failing to understand the effort and discipline behind writing. Kaithapram explained that 72 years of his life is behind the effort of writing a song. It must come from looking back into life rather than creating a song on the go. When one does not look at such efforts with respect it is a sin, said Kaithapram.
