Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran comments on the working culture in Malayalam cinema, saying it is less “corporate” than Bollywood. He argues that even when Malayalam productions have larger budgets and longer schedules, the way people collaborate on set has not fundamentally changed.

In interviews reported by NDTV, Prithviraj’s view focuses on how filmmaking practices and teamwork evolve—or, in his assessment, do not fully evolve—with scale. While the outlet frames his remarks as a contrast with Bollywood’s more corporate feel, the core point he makes is that growth in resources does not automatically translate into a different collaborative dynamic within Malayalam cinema.

Across the available reports, the emphasis remains on his perspective rather than new verifiable industry data or specific examples from individual projects. The coverage centres on his belief about organizational culture in film production, especially in relation to budgeting and scheduling.
