According to the ‘Premam’ actor, audiences today show more interest in stories connected to Indian mythology. He believes these stories are exciting because they come from the culture and history of the land. With modern technology and visual effects, filmmakers can now present these stories more powerfully on the big screen.

“People have become curious about Indian mythology and stories of the land. Today, in the age of VFX and all the technology, we are able to show those stories in a better way. It’s become a unique experience seeing all of it come to life.

So being part of that mythical journey, it’s a dream come true," he added.
