He added the kind of films he does in Malayalam, he can "never" do it anywhere else.

Vicky Kaushal is the find of the decade: Fahadh Faasil

Praising Hindi film actors, the Trance actor said that he believes Vicky is the "finds of the decade". He also heaped praise on Rajkummar Rao and Ranbir Kapoor and called them the "finest" and "best" actors Inda has ever produced. He also expressed his surprise at knowing that non-Malayalai audiences are watching his movies and said "I don’t know what they see in me." He believes it is the art form that the audience is connected to more than the performances or performers. He concluded by saying that he likes pan-India and loves that bonding. But nothing beyond that.
