For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.

I respect Malayalam films the same way I respect Bengali films. I think Malayalam films have not compromised on the essence and have kept their own statement and are coming up with very good themes.

I am more comfortable working in Tamil films rather than in Malayalam.

We know of instances of stage plays being made into films. But I really think that all Tamil films can be staged; I'd like to take up K. Balachander's films and do that.

Suhasini Maniratnam

Tamil films have to be faster than a Malayalam film but not as fast as a Hindi film.

My thought process is in Malayalam. So, every time I have to work outside Malayalam, the process is a little stressful. I have to translate my Malayalam thoughts into English and back to Tamil.

I want to develop women-oriented films because, in most of the films, 70 per cent of the focus is on heroes and the rest on the heroine.

Prabhu Deva

I had a smooth take-off in Malayalam, I would like to explore more and take up films that are different in Tamil.

Padmapriya Janakiraman

I don't understand this concept of women-oriented films or stories based on women, because nobody uses the term, a 'man-oriented' film. Why do you have to separate girls from boys?

Disha Patani

There was a time when not many people had access to Malayalam films. So those who did have access went on to copy the films, add a few bits, and present it like it was their own.

I started off with films similar to 'Blood Money' - intense, emotional dramas. But as is often the case, the industry and audience typecast me and I decided to break away. Hence, followed a spate of comedies.

I watch a lot of Malayalam films and admire them greatly. The films have such wonderful content.

I have done about 25 films in Malayalam and won awards for my performances in films like 'Nandanam' and 'Saira.'

Navya Nair

Free time keeps me going. It's just something that's always been a part of my life. I was originally a painter, and I made films sort of as an extension of that, and then I started to try to make dramatic films because the early films were experimental films.
