Director Atlee says, "I don't like the word PAN India for movies"

Director Atlee needs no introduction, where after having a trilogy of films with Thalapathy Vijay down South, the man collaborated with the superstar of all time, Shah Rukh Khan, for what is now India's biggest blockbuster, Jawan last year.

The director who gave the biggest hit in the industry Atlee who made his directorial debut with "Raja Rani" in 2013 to his recent blockbuster "Jawan" starring Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee has consistently delivered commercial success coupled with critical acclaim. His films, including "Theri," "Mersal," and "Bigil," have not only dominated the box office but have also garnered recognition and awards, solidifying his position as one of the most sought-after directors in the industry.

Recently, at an event, when asked about Pan Indian Films, he replied, "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 knowledge. 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 cross-over cinema; we like to call it Indian Film an Indian Film fraternity"

When it comes to his future projects, the director is currently rolling and getting ready for his upcoming production, which is also actor Varun Dhawan's mega project, Baby John.

The film is slated for an April 2024 release.
