Following the success of 'The Kerala Story', filmmaker Sudipto Sen was riding high, but he fell sick and was admitted to hospital.
As per details, the director was down with dehydration and infection and was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai.
Sen opened up about his hospitalisation and shared his health update recently.
"I am admitted at the Kokilaben hospital for dehydration and infection. But it’s all under control now. I am likely to be discharged today. I am going to request the doctor to let me go home," Times of India quoted Sudipto Sen as saying.
The filmmaker mentioned he is not overwhelmed by the box office figures of The Kerala Story. "I still want more people to see The Kerala Story. I want the message to go out as far as possible. I want at least ten percent of the Indian population in the world to watch my film. Only then will I consider it a real success. Money is definitely important, but when I started working on this subject, I didn't think of it. Believe me, nine years or more, I got up every morning feeling frustrated that I am unable to do anything," he added.
He expressed his gratitude to producer Vipul Shaj for taking a big risk. "Box office news gives me the satisfaction that Vipulji gets his money back. He took a great risk. He deserves a lot. Money will not change me at all. I will have to struggle the same way for my next film and will continue to struggle," said Sen.
Meanwhile, we wish the director a speedy recovery.
