Sonu Sood shares his thoughts on Pan-India films
When asked how Sonu Sood sees the growing phenomenon of Pan-India films and the idea of crossing regional barriers, the actor replied that good cinema has to be seen by everyone. “I was always a part of South movies. I have been doing movies in Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, Marathi, Chinese - A lot of movies. I always believed then also that good cinema has to be seen by everyone. Language shouldn't be a barrier where people are like, ‘I don't understand the language. I don't want to see that,’” articulated the actor.
Sood further continued, “Now with South movies doing so well, and Hindi movies getting dubbed in South - so that conveys it all that entertainment has to reach every house. It’s not important which language you shoot it. So yes, that gives a huge amount of responsibility also on your shoulders. Yet you have to make a good film otherwise people are not going to accept that. So, better technicians, better story, writers, better actors on their way,” It should be noted that Samrat Prithviraj will also release in multiple languages.
