Career

Pandit's first movie, Krishnanum Radhayum, released on 21 October 2011,[3][6] became an unexpected success in theaters. Some critics attribute the huge success of the film to the complex curiosity after the unprecedented harassment and negative comments posted on the YouTube clips related to the songs in the film.[7][8][9][10] His second film was, Superstar Santhosh Pandit,[11] where he again handled all the major departments in production.[12]

Pandit appeared in the 2013–2014 Malayalam reality tv show Malayalee House aired on Surya TV.[13][14][15] The hosts of the show decided to hold a public poll for eviction of housemates from the 5th week onward. Pandit, was eliminated in the 4th week by the housemates.[16][15] Later the makers of the show admitted that evicting Santhosh Pandit was a mistake.[17] Santhosh Pandit was returned to the show as a wild-card entry on 7 June 2013. On 19 July 2013 Pandit was again evicted from the show.[18]
