Storytelling is Evolving
But for Akshay, this film is more than just a fun time at the movies.
“We kind of thought family audiences had stopped going to the theaters, right? But it turns out they were just waiting for stories that really resonated with them,” he says.
The Heart of Indian Cinema
Akshay really believes this movie is bringing back that classic Indian cinema vibe – clean, emotional, and genuinely funny.
“That’s what I think of as peak Indian cinema. And Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari? It captures that feeling perfectly.”
Why Are Families Coming Back to Theaters?
With films like Sitaare Zameen Par and Metro In Dino generating buzz, it’s clear that families are still hungry for relatable, feel-good stories.
“This isn’t just about nostalgia, though. It’s progress! Audiences are changing, but they still want that authentic Indian emotion,” Akshay explains.
Good Vibes on Set
Akshay also mentioned that the energy on set was infectious – full of joy and a sense of fun.
“It’s a feel-good film, you know? Something you can actually watch with your parents and have a good laugh. And honestly, that’s kind of rare these days.”
Part of Something Bigger
As the release date gets closer, Akshay’s feeling pretty proud to be part of a movement that’s bringing warmth and a sense of togetherness back to Indian cinema. It sounds like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is going to be a movie the whole family can enjoy!
