Speaking at the 15th-anniversary program of Keralakaumudi Flash, cine actor KPAC Lalitha said it was Sathyan Anthikkad who brought her back to cinema in a difficult phase. The veteran actress said Sathyan Anthikkad gave her good roles when she almost stopped doing cinema.

"Can't go by without mentioning Sathyan Anthikkad. After the demise of chettan (Bharathan), I was almost done with cinema. At this time Sathyan befriended my children and brought me back to the cinema. My children also wanted me to leave home. I did 'Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal'. I always said that after KPAC it was Sathyan Anthikkad who gave me good roles in cinema. Now I was able to do a different role in the movie directed by his son. If you ask me whether I have done such a role before, then it would be right to say no", Lalitha said.
