'Sabu Cyril - an encyclopedia in art direction, a respected personality and under whom I was trained approximately for 10 years; really proud to be one of his student.
Yes, I now too go with the statement that I Got Cheated, for i was called for this movie as the Art Director and Sabu sir being the production designer , but been designated as chief art asst in the movie baahubali on which I felt I got cheated by depromoting by career level which I had achieved upon my 20 years of vigorous hard work. On this matter there are many news spreading without my knowledge which is misleading my statement.
Respected journalists /news maker's before publishing a matter pls go through the topic thoroughly and detailed. Pls try to understand the difference between production designer and production controller. dont insult a great personality who is well known and acknowledged as production designer.
Manu Jagadh'.
Let us wait and see how do Baahubali team would respond on these allegations!
