Noting that Malayalam cinema prioritises its writers, ‘Inspector Avinash 2’ actor Abhimanyu Singh slams Hindi showbiz’s treatment of them

A year has passed since actor Abhimanyu Singh made his Malayalam debut with Mohanlal-led L2: Empuraan (2025), but one thing about that experience has remained unforgettable — the value given to writing. It’s stayed with him because he doesn’t find the same culture in Bollywood. Thankfully, his latest work, Inspector Avinash, has been an exception. The actor shared, “We [the Hindi entertainment industry] don’t care for writers. When I did a Malayalam movie, I saw how they care for their writers, and how much importance writers are given by the directors and producers. That’s why their content is so good. We don’t trust or back our writers.”
