The films I do in Malayalam can never be done somewhere else, Faasil remarked, emphasizing the unique bonds he shares with his home audience.
In the same interview, Faasil paid tribute to the exceptional talents of Bollywood actors Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao. He also hailed Ranbir Kapoor as the country's finest performer. Additionally, he voiced his surprise and gratitude for the growing recognition that Malayalam cinema enjoys among viewers across the nation.
