While I appreciate the recognition, I wish politicians would focus more on improving cinema infrastructure and supporting struggling filmmakers rather than just meeting successful stars. Many talented artists need real support.

As someone who watched the first Kantara with subtitles, I'm thrilled to see Indian regional cinema getting this recognition. The cultural depth in these films is something Hollywood can never replicate. Can't wait to watch this one!
