Raj B Shetty, who is currently involved in multiple projects in the Malayalam film industry, offers insights into the industry's fast-paced production process and his evolving approach to acting. He maintains that staying true to his acting ethos has resonated with Malayalam filmmakers and audiences, enabling him to secure diverse roles. As the industry continues to focus on pan-India appeal, Raj notes the ever-changing landscape of trends and the ambiguity of defining success and failure within such frameworks.Everyone strived for grandeur in their projects, leading to our failure. We should focus on producing big-budget films, but this can be time-consuming. We can schedule the release of films starring big actors once every two years. In the meantime, we should also focus on creating films that are driven by strong content rather than relying solely on star power. These films should have the potential to remain in theaters for 4-5 weeks, generating sufficient revenue for both theater owners and filmmakers. Unfortunately, such films are currently lacking in the industry due to a lack of initiative.
