Adivi Sesh: We need to look at films beyond linguistic boundaries
Adivi Sesh believes Indian cinema has yet to truly become “pan-India” as films continue to be defined by language rather than storytelling. The actor-writer argues that if a film resonates with audiences across the country, it should be seen as an Indian story instead of being confined to labels such as Hindi, Telugu or Tamil cinema. According to him, genuine pan-India cinema will emerge only when the industry moves beyond linguistic boundaries and embraces stories that belong to the entire nation, rather than treating them as products of individual language markets.
