Mumbai: Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has reacted to the success of the film ‘Hanuman Ansh’. He said that in today’s era, a film’s success and scale cannot be determined only by its budget. Audience preference, storytelling and the connection with the film also play an important role in its success.

According to Prithviraj Sukumaran, the world of cinema has undergone major changes over the past few years. Films made on smaller budgets can now reach audiences on a large scale through their stories and impact. At the same time, grandeur alone is not a guarantee of success for big-budget films.

In the context of the success of ‘Hanuman Ansh’, the actor said that the film’s performance should not be judged only on the basis of the amount spent on its production. Audience response and the cultural impact of a film are also important factors in understanding its scale.

He said that the expansion of technology and digital platforms has also widened the reach of cinema audiences. Films made in different languages and regions are now finding audiences across the country. In such a situation, storytelling and content have become more important for filmmakers than before.

Prithviraj Sukumaran has been active in both South Indian cinema and Hindi films. Apart from acting, he has also worked in film production and direction. He believes that the film industry needs to understand changing audience preferences and new ways of watching cinema.

His statement about the success of ‘Hanuman Ansh’ comes at a time when content-driven films and films made in different languages are finding wider audiences in Indian cinema.
