“There is a lot for everyone to learn from everywhere. I understand the conversation and praise around Malayalam cinema of late. But make no mistake it was not too long ago that we were sitting across tables in Kerala and thinking, ‘How is Hindi cinema doing this?’ “It was a time not too far back when maverick filmmakers like Anurag (Kashyap), Vikramaditya Motwane and Hansal Mehta burst onto the scene and started making content that made us think ‘wow’ .Yes, Malayalam cinema is going through a great phase, but these phases happen to every cinema periodically,” the actor-filmmaker said at a promotional event for Empuraan.
Prithviraj said he would not be surprised if, a couple of years later, people were once again praising films coming out of Bollywood. “But one thing that most aspirational about Hindi cinema post the 90s is how it has taken its cinema to the world. Hindi cinema has been absolutely pathbreaking in taking in taking Indian cinema to the world and in helping people around the world discover the content we create in this country. For all the regional languages, however much pan-Indian success we achieve, we will forever be indebted to Hindi cinema for having shown us the way,” he said.
