Karthik Subbaraj Explains Why Tamil Cinema Has No Rs 1,000 Crore Film Yet
Director Karthik Subbaraj explained that Tamil cinema has yet to produce a Rs 1,000 crore film because such milestones cannot be deliberately planned or targeted. He described reaching this box office figure as a phenomenon or 'magic' that occurs when a film resonates globally, citing successes like KGF and Pushpa as examples. Currently, Tamil cinema's highest grosser, Jailer 2, has earned around Rs 755 crore worldwide, bringing the industry closer to this milestone but not yet crossing it.
