The director who gave the biggest hit in the industry Atlee who did his directorial debut with "Raja Rani" in 2013 to his recent blockbuster "Jawan" starring Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee has consistently delivered commercial success coupled with critical acclaim.
His films, including "Theri," "Mersal," and "Bigil," have not only dominated the box office but have also garnered recognition and awards, solidifying his position as one of the most sought-after directors in the industry.
Recently at an event when asked about Pan Indian Films he replied saying "As a professional person from film fraternity...I don't like the world Pan India, India is one and unity in diversity is one. Language is just communication medium, They are not knowledges.
All films, everyone sees for example KGF is the biggest hit all over, after KGF Yash is the Indian Superstar, Allu Arjun Sir - Pushpa, Vijay Sir - Villu...So I think we are one and we never like to call it Pan India films or cross over cinema we like to call it Indian Film an Indian Film fraternity"
