Fahadh Faasil has been making headlines for quite a long time with his recent blockbuster film Aavesham and for upcoming collaborations with Allu Arjun, Rajinikanth, and more. However, the actor has recently commented on being termed a pan-India star and revealed that Pushpa hasn't done anything for him.

In a recent conversation with Film Companion's Anupama Chopra, the actor was asked about his thoughts on being identified as a pan-India star. The actor honestly commented, “Pushpa would change me, Pushpa would take me to a different level…No, I don’t believe that. I’m just an actor here, I have nothing to do with pan-India.”

Fahadh Faasil delved deeper by revealing how many thought he would change after acting in Pushpa. However, he doesn’t believe that Pushpa did anything for him which he has apparently shared with director Sukumar as well.

Without any disrespect to the other industries, the actor conveyed how he worked on Pushpa only for the sake of collaboration and his love for the director. He loves doing films in Malayalam, which is where he has built his life. He also added that the films he does in Malayalam can never be done somewhere else, emphasizing that the freedom he gets from the industry is what he treasures the most.
