Johny Antony is a director who had made the audience laugh through his films CID Moosa, Kochi Rajavu and Thuruppugulan. His films has a unique ability to take both adults and children alike. Films with Dileep like CID Moosa, Kochi Rajavu and Inspector Garud are examples for it. CID Moosa’s big hit is demanding the second part of the film, he said.

Though there were hits when joined with Dileep, Johny Antony said that he is not able to go near Dileep now with a new movie. Dileep always expresses his wish to make a sequel of CID Moosa. So, cannot go near Dileep with a new film, said Johny Antony in an interview given to a magazine.

His words
‘I and Dileep entered the film industry at the same time. Dileep came as assistant to Kamal Sir in Vishnulokam and I through Chajantttam. I never thought that he would become an actor then. Later I worked as an assistant and associate in many of his films. Dileep gave me dates after asking me aren’t you doing any films.


When things including the script was ready, he decided to produce it. CID Moosa happened like that. I would be always obliged and grateful to him. Dileep always tells me to take the second part of CID Moosa. So, cannot go near him with a new movie.’
