Stories needed to turn actors into pan India stars

Nowadays, the pan-India word is going viral everywhere. All the actors are dreaming of expanding their markets and entertaining movie lovers. At the same time, directors are dreaming of having pan-India stars for their films.

However, directors also should change their outlook. Instead of trying to rope in pan-India stars for their projects, they should have confidence and come up with a story that turns any actor into a pan-India star.

Pan-India image will not come just due to stardom but due to the universal appeal in the story. Kantara, Pushpa and others got connected to people across the country due to the universal elements. The soul in the story is important.

Talent of the director revolves around comping with powerful story and strong script to turn any hero into pan India star. The makers should change their thought process. Many of them are under the impression that top stars and big budgets are essential for pan-India projects. But changing trends proved them wrong, and if the story is strong, it will connect with people across the country.

The directors should concentrate on universal stories with strong emotions, a racy screenplay to appeal to all.
