Karthi made a strong and honest statement during the promotional event of his upcoming film Annagaru Vostaru. He said that Tamil cinema needs to bring in fresher and bolder ideas.
According to him Telugu filmmakers are making grand films while Malayalam filmmakers are experimenting with new and unique concepts. This made him question what the current identity of Tamil cinema really is.
Karthi explained that the industry cannot move forward if directors and writers are scared to try something new.
He said, “We can’t create anything new if we are scared. We must break barriers”. His straightforward comments encouraged many to think about the direction Tamil cinema is heading.
After his speech, fans and filmmakers began discussing his views on social media. His words also increased curiosity about Annagaru Vostaru, with many now expecting the film to offer a fresh approach and showcase something different from regular Tamil films.
“I always think that Telugu makers are doing big films & Malayalam makers are doing different films.. What’s the identity of Tamil films..? We can’t do new things if we are scared to try.. We need to break the barriers..”
