Fahadh Faasil on the growth of Malayalam cinema
Fahadh Faasil went on to talk about how the model in Malayalam cinema is not the same as others. He said, “We need to release the film, prove the film, and then... I think that way we are more self-sufficient now. We understand the importance of making a film that is different and will make noise.”
He concluded, “We are trying to make films that sort of reach out first, and then the rest of the business and exposure the film happens. Make it a second priority and make the noise first.”
