While promoting his upcoming biographical drama GDN, Madhavan spoke about the changing facets of Indian cinema. The actor believed that the younger generation of our country, especially Gen Z, is drifting away from good quality Indian cinema. He said that they would rather enjoy watching Korean films, Japanese animated content, and other international cinema.
While speaking to Cinema Express, he said, “I've got one fear I don't even want to think about. For sure, until now, I've earned his respect. Now he's 20 years old. But if you look at my younger generation, they're totally disconnected from him. It's a big problem. They're watching Japanese anime, they're watching Korean content. But they don't even want to watch our Tamil movies. They won't go to the theatre to watch Hindi movies or Indian movies either.”
