Alphonse Puthren announces exit from films, deletes post later

Director Alphonse Puthran of Premam and Neram fame took to his official Instagram page to announce his exit from films.

In a shocking post, he revealed that he was suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder recently. Alphonse further added that he didn’t want to be a burden to anyone. After the post went viral on social media, he deleted it.

His post read, “I’m stopping my cinema theatre career. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder which I found out yesterday on my own. I don’t want to be burden to anyone else. I will continue doing songs and videos and short films and maximum on OTT. I don’t want to quit cinema, but I have no other option. I don’t want to make promises that I can’t keep. When health is weak or unpredictable, life brings a twist like an interval punch (sic).”

He captioned the post, “I’m sorry to everyone for not being healthy. I don’t know what the reason is. I had this issue from childhood, this is what I think after understanding about Autism. That’s why the delay in films I guess. But I wouldn’t stop entertaining you all (sic).”

The post went viral on social media. However, Alphonse quickly deleted the post on Instagram. The screenshot of the post is now going viral.
