Director Atlee, known for hits like 'Jawan', speaks against the term 'Pan India', advocating for a unified Indian cinema. He emphasizes that linguistic diversity should not divide the industry, highlighting the universal appeal of Indian films.
Atlee,
the
visionary
director
behind
some
of
the
most
notable
blockbusters
in
the
film
industry,
recently
shared
his
thoughts
on
the
concept
of
"Pan
Indian
Films" at
an
event.
Known
for
his
successful
directorial
ventures
like
"Raja
Rani,"
"Theri,"
"Mersal,"
and
"Bigil,"
Atlee
has
carved
a
niche
for
himself
in
the
cinematic
world,
culminating
in
his
latest
triumph,
"Jawan,"
starring
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
His
journey
from
his
debut
in
2013
to
the
present
has
been
marked
by
both
commercial
success
and
critical
acclaim,
establishing
him
as
a
highly
revered
figure
in
the
industry.
During the event, Atlee expressed his perspective on the nomenclature of films that transcend regional boundaries. He stated, "As a professional person from the film fraternity...I don't like the world Pan India, India is one and unity in diversity is one. Language is just a communication medium, They are not knowledges." This comment sheds light on his belief in the unity of the Indian film industry, regardless of the linguistic diversity that characterizes the country's cinematic output.
Atlee further highlighted the universal appeal of Indian films by citing examples of movies that have achieved widespread success across the nation. He pointed out, "All films, everyone sees for example KGF is the biggest hit all over, after KGF Yash is the Indian Superstar, Allu Arjun Sir - Pushpa, Vijay Sir - Villu...So I think we are one and we never like to call it Pan India films or crossover cinema we like to call it Indian Film an Indian Film fraternity." Through this, Atlee emphasizes the idea that films from any part of India belong to the entire country and contribute to a singular, cohesive Indian film fraternity.
Atlee's comments reflect a broader sentiment within the Indian film industry, advocating for a unified approach to cinema that celebrates its diversity without compartmentalizing it into regional or linguistic categories. By rejecting the term "Pan India" and instead promoting the concept of a singular Indian film industry, Atlee champions the notion that all films, regardless of their language, are inherently Indian and should be recognized as such.
In conclusion, Atlee's perspective on the Indian film industry not only highlights his vision for a unified cinematic expression but also underscores the evolving narrative of Indian cinema on the global stage. As filmmakers like him continue to blur the linguistic and regional boundaries, the Indian film industry is poised to present itself as a monolithic entity that celebrates diversity while fostering unity.
