S. Purshottam:
"S. Purshottam! This is my assumed name. My real name is Purshottam Yashwant Saundalgekar... It is a rather difficult name, hence the assumed one... i got the suggestion from, V. Shantaram's name, I hail from Kolhapur as does Shri Shantaram. I was familiar with his name since my school-day... I used to see a lot of films. I had a liking for them... There also was S. Purshottam, a wellknown music composer."
