The collection has been sourced from different parts of the country, with larger representations from states including West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Assam, Bihar and Odisha.
With Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra soon to be released in theatres, the cast of the film is now expressing their personal experiences during the entire shoot.
Prithviraj Sukumaran hails from the state of Kerala, tagging along decades of experience. Daayra is one of several projects he has worked on in Bollywood, including prominent films like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Naam Shabana, among others.
When asked about the differences he felt between the Malayalam cinema industry and Bollywood, he had a few points holstered. Prithviraj Sukumaran said, “I think it’s how informal we are as an industry. Our bag is light compared to Bollywood.”
The Malayalam cinema industry has been growing exponentially due to the immersive narratives their movies carry. But another surprising fact about the industry is how informal their approach is to the process of making films. He said, “Even while attempting these big films, there’s an informal way Malayalam films are made. That approach brings a tangible, humane element to the cinema we make.”
Comparing it to Bollywood, he added, “I’ve learnt that you have to call the agency. The agency will then speak to the manager assigned to you, and the manager will convince you to take the meeting with the director. If it’s someone like Meghna, it doesn’t take too much convincing. So, it’s all very corporate. I guess it works. But I think there’s an easier way to do things.”

The original Avengers: Endgame was released back in 2019, showcasing the climactic battle between the Avengers and Thanos. It was part of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, closing the curtain on the 22 movies prior to it with a fitting end for the heroes. Following this, Spider-Man: No Way Home concluded Phase 3, moving the tale ahead and introducing even more characters to the ever-growing franchise.
Now, fans are geared up for Avengers: Doomsday. To better prepare us for this film, Avengers: Endgame: Encore will be released with an additional four minutes of footage, which will serve as a narrative bridge between the two movies.
Avengers: Doomsday marks the beginning of Marvel Studios’ epic two-part Multiverse Saga finale, setting the stage for Avengers: Secret Wars. The film brings together heroes from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Wakandans, and the New Avengers, as they unite against a common enemy: Victor Von Doom, aka Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
