TV Chandran opens his heart

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,November 30 2006]

Noted director T V Chandran, taking part in the International Film Festival in Goa, has expressed his disappointment at regional cinemas being marginalised.

The director, whose Aadum Koothu featuring Cheran and Navya Nair is being screened during the fest, says that regional cinema across the country is neglected. The attitude overall is parochial.

“My films are as Indian as those of other languages. You can find Hindi films running in Kerala, but how often do you find a Malayalam film being screened elsewhere? Good cinema, be it any language, should be welcomed. All artistes should be treated with the same respect,” he said.

“Regional cinema is in dire straits in the country. Across the language barrier, regional films are struggling to find an audience,” he added.
