Director Gopi Atchara has been associated with Suhas since Colour Photoand it was Gopi who first felt that Suhas would be apt for the lead character in Hey Bhalwanth. “He worked on a couple of my films earlier and always felt this subject would suit me perfectly,” says Suhas, elaborating that he hopped into the project as there was a balance of humour and the emotional quotient. “The comedy track and the emotional bond between the father and son were the biggest factors that sold the project to me.”
Suhas has no qualms about accepting that his recent failures affected him deeply and concedes that his familial commitments made him somewhat reckless in signing projects. “Yes, I went through continuous flops, and even my wife got upset with me. She told me, ‘Be careful about what kind of films you sign.’ After marriage and kids, responsibilities increased. I accepted a few films recklessly for money, without much control, and that turned out to be a bad phase in my career,” he confesses, adding, “With Hey BalwanthI thought carefully before signing and decided to do a proper film.”
