Film cost me a whole year: Pratap Pothen

Prathap Pothen, who recently announced that he has dropped his project with Anjali Menon, claims he has lost an entire year because of it. The reason cited by the director is that he is not satisfied by the script offered by Anjali Menon. "I decided to announce it because otherwise people will think I'm still working on it and I wouldn't get any other work. This project has set me back. Once you start on direction, you don't get acting offers," he says.

Meanwhile, he is giving himself a small break, he says. "I am also working on scripts. I have collaborated with Rajesh Ravi for four films, and am working with him now." The film, tentatively titled '

Love in Anjengo

', had Dulquer Salmaan as the lead actor.
