Thanks to subtitles and good dubbing, language is no longer a barrier. Hence, the South Indian film industry is reaping the benefits.

For us, no film is big or small. Story and project matter to us. Our planning has always been big (for a big picture).

Kantara was a divine blessing. The movie could penetrate because people could relate to it. It all started with mouth-to-mouth publicity. Fans were the actual catalysts for our rapid growth.
