SS Rajamouli admits Malayalam film industry produces 'better actors'

Observation made during success party of Premalu

SS Karthikeya, took over the dubbing rights for Premalu

Renowned director SS Rajamouli recently admitted that the Malayalam film industry produces “better actors” than other Indian film industries. This statement was made by him while attending the success party of the Malayalam film Premalu in Hyderabad. 

It’s worth noting that Rajamouli’s son, SS Karthikeya, took over the dubbing rights for Premalu, following which the film’s Telugu version was released. During the event, Rajamouli said, “It is with jealousy and pain that I admit the Malayalam film industry produces better actors. In this film too, they did a fantastic job.” 

While talking about the movie, the filmmaker added, “It’s meant to be watched in theatres because it’s hilarious, when the people next to you laugh, you enjoy it more.”

He admitted that although he prefers action genre movies, he found this movie thoroughly entertaining. He praised the film’s writer for its humour and applauded Sangeeth’s portrayal of his character.

Before that, SS Rajamouli also shared a note on X to share his thoughts on the film. The director mentioned, “So glad Karthikeya did #Premalu in Telugu. It was a laugh riot throughout. The writer did a fab job in getting the meme/youth language perfectly right. I liked the girl, Reenu in the trailer itself. In the film even the boy Sachin is lovable. But my fav is Aadi..JK..Just Kidding.”
