Senior actor Abhijith has turned production charioteer with new film ‘Panta’ being produced by Subramaniam and directed by S Narayan. Narayan says Abhijith was instrumental in launching this film and because of him, the film has started. ‘I was upset that 18 of my films didn’t take off during the last two and half years. It was Abhijith who introduced me to this producer and because of him, the film has started’ says Narayan.

Abhijith says he always wondered why a director of Narayan caliber is not doing anything? ‘I happen to meet Subramaniam and he wanted to do a Kannada film. That is when I introduced him to Narayan. Finally I got the responsibility of looking after the production activities of the film’ says Abhijith.
