Gold is an incomplete version?
Taking to an Instagram post, Puthren said that the film the audience saw was not his work. He added that it is his logo put by him in a "Prithviraj and Listin Venture for Covid times." His comment read, "Gold you see is not my Gold. It is my logo put by myself in a Prithviraj and Listin Venture for Covid times. And I couldn't shoot the song which Kaithapram sir wrote, @thevijayyesudas and @_shwetamohan_ sang. I loved the song and had asked all the artists in my film to keep two days dates for the song shoot. Then it didn't happen.”
He added, “Likewise many equipment's and other facilities weren't like the script. Since I have Chronic Pancreatitis and was on medication, I could only write the script, direct, colour and edit it. So forget Gold for now.”
Alphonse Puthren not only wrote, directed and edited the film but also worked on it by overseeing the visual effects, stunt choreography, animation titles and more.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Alphonse Puthren recently announced that he is retiring from the entertainment industry, but hours later he deleted the post, leaving everyone sceptical.
