And now, during an event for his film Pravinkoodu Shappu, the actor responded to the constant comparisons he has been facing with actor Dileep.

Basil Joseph said, “Dileep has a style that’s entirely his own. He built his legacy through the films we grew up watching. I feel grateful that people like me, but I want to establish my own identity. His legacy is something he created single-handedly, and I’m not interested in being compared to that.”
