According to Kaiku "Ta Tomba the Great" a much hit cinema where he acted the role of abnormal person was his most difficult act he has ever come across. And his act was appreciated by the people of Manipur till today. Kaiku also does not believe in differentiating the producers, directors, co-actors and crew members whom he has been working till today since every one of them were his supporters and always encouraged him.

And in the future he will be devoting and contributing his life for the development of Manipuri cinema which can be compared with other film industry of the country and also could get appreciation by the audience of country and abroad. However, he objects the restriction which are imposed to every actors and producers as well as directors in highlighting the real face of the cinema and real stories to give impact to the society. Therefore, he appealed to the concerned authorities to lift the restriction.

Commenting on the present trend of Manipur cinema he noted that he would love to see Manipur cinema with best quality and more interesting stories which can also reflect to the society and the people of Manipur in order to bring peace and harmony in the state. And he also being a citizen of Manipur feels sorry about the situation which has been prevailing in the state since many decades and which makes Manipur a "Killing Field".

And he prays to God that Manipur will one day be free from conflict and have the enjoyment and growth in the entertainment sector. He further mentioned that Manipur could only restore peace if Manipuri mothers give love and affection to all their sons without differentiating one another.

Kaiku in his past experience in his cinema career was also trapped in hand of controversial issues and became a chit-chat for the public as well media community of the state. But he does not regret about such issues since he denied all the allegation made to him besides his family members and his wife are always in his side when such matters come infront of him.

Shooting being his profession Kaiku cannot stay away from it, however he loves to spend his time with his family and his daughter which she named her as "Angel". Today, the actor has stopped going out for shoot during the evening and Sunday as to spend his time with family members.
