What would Shaji Kailas do without Ranjith or Ranji Panikkar? Ask what he could not. He would direct Tamil and Telugu films. But why, one may tend to ask. Ranjith turned to directing. He won't be able to write scripts for other directors anymore especially for super directors. Ranji Panikkar is also onto directing. If he fails to draw audience then he may not stick to direction.

It is the UDF rule in kerala from time to time that gave subject to Ranji Panikkar. All the scandals sprang out at that time. He was never able to make any scandal that took place under UDF rule a success. So minus UDF rule Ranji panikkar is zero. Further people are now fed up with that kind of scripts and dialogues however, Shaji Kailas makes it visually hitting.

In these circumstances Shaji Kailas would only with slight reluctance go for scripts by Ranji Panikkar. The safest thing is to accept Unnikrishnan a second quality clone (remember 'SIVAM', and 'COVER STORY'?). But he will not sell in Malayalam so his services can be used in Tamil and Telugu. That is what Shaji Kailas is doing at present. There is more money in Tamil and bouquets. There are no brickbats like the ones he received for 'THANDAVAM'.
