Answering to him, Jeethu politely said “No” and revealed that he was just a rubber planter before becoming a filmmaker. “No sir, before becoming a filmmaker, I was just a rubber planter. I am coming from an agriculture family. My father was politician. He was an MLA and I am coming from a village background. I have three brothers, one sister and I am the only person working in the industry. So I have no connection” the filmmaker said while answering to the host.
