Ace cinematographer had openly stated that he didlikes the kind of movies that Sreenivasan makes. He had stated that Sreenivasan makes movies taking up middle class issues and commercialises it. Rajeev had also said that Sreenivasan's script should be burned. He also pointed out Mani Ratnam as the culprit for the youth's loss of sensibility today, making special mention of the movie Roja.

In reply to Rajeev Ravi's scathing criticism, actor/director/singer Vineeth Sreenivasan had a reply coated in humor to defend his father. Vineeth asked how on can build a movie without script, using many metaphors. He took anticipatory bail by saying that he is just voicing a few thoughts that popped up. He ended by signing, "your's only, Sreenivasan's son", prompting may likes for his comment.
