Jeethu Joseph also shared his feelings on how the industry should be open to experimenting with different scripts and not stick to one genre. “If you are a filmmaker and have a story idea for a drama or a comedy, you should be able to make it entertaining as a film; that’s all that matters at the end of the day. As audience members, what you are looking for in a film is to be entertained, right? If the director works on the script and makes it engaging, I am of the firm belief that all kinds of films will work big time.”
