He said, “The South of India produces some of the finest storytellers. Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and other Indian languages are home to some of the biggest artists in the industry. Of course, everyone is aware of them in India because to movies like Jawan, Baahubali, and RRR. After collaborating on Dil Se with Mani Ratnam sir, I desired to work in the “South” genre film. It wasn’t enough that I worked with a South Indian director.”
