“The lines have merged now”, says Saran adding, “One good thing that happened with Covid-19 was people had a lot of time to consume new content. And, then it did not matter what language is good. And, eventually, you realise there is no point you confine to one language because honestly, it does not matter. The subject is what matters and people are now willing to experiment.”

When asked whether films should be released in theatres or on demand, Saran responds, “A movie like Drishyam 2 needed to be watched on the big screen. Cinema also connects people on different level. They come together and watch the movie as one. For those two or three hours, the theatre unites people which I feel is beautiful.”

The 40-year-old also has an opinion on whether movies should be distributed on OTT a month or so after their theatrical debut. The actor asserts, “This is for the bigger people to decide. As a creative person, I feel there is a certain kind of cinema that is made for OTT. The kind of stories you tell are different on streaming platforms.”

Saran is hoping to undertake more projects in Bollywood after the huge success of Drishyam 2. “I just hope something nice comes my way. I would love to work in my mother tongue but I am partial towards both Bollywood and South cinema. I have grown up learning Hindi and I have grown up getting a lot of love from South. I have learned cinema in South and the language I speak is Hindi.”

Saran announces whether or not fans will be able to view Drishyam 3: “I honestly would not know about it. (Director) Abhishek (Pathak) would know better. I don’t know how are they going to go about it. Will they release it together or whether they will re-write it.”

Saran has also received a lot of attention on a personal level. The star was recently mocked after she was photographed on many times demonstrating PDA with her spouse Andrei Koscheev on the red carpet.

When pressed on this, the actor reveals a technique for dealing with negativity: “It is very innocent, I don’t know if I have hurt some people, then I am sorry. If I haven’t (hurt them) and made others happy, then I am happy. I don’t read trolls at all. I really don’t.”
