Over a year after the release of his last directorial venture Retro (2025), as filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj mounts his next, he is certain of one thing — that it will be a pan-India movie. According to him, pan-India cinema is no longer a distinct category, but the default reality of filmmaking today as the Indian audience consumes stories beyond language barriers. “Today, every film is pan-India.

According to reports, Karthik Subbaraj has confirmed that he will make the third instalment of his ‘Jigarthanda’ franchise
