The panel tried to explore this phenomenon and understand what makes this industry tick?
The panel was moderated by scriptwriter and SWA member Shridhar Raghavan (Khakee, Bluffmaster) and included filmmakers Vetrimaaran (Visaaranai, Aadukalam), writer-director Gayatri Sivasubramaniam (Vikram Vedha), writer-director Pushkar AKS (Vikram Vedha) and Aalif Surti (Former Chief Creative Officer – Fox Star Studios)
The panel attributed the emergence of the out of the box films especially in Tamil cinema to varied reasons including stories rooted in the local milieu, an enthusiastic audience and the lack of pressure of catering to a Pan-India audience.
