The International Film Festival of Kerala 2022 was held in the state of Kerala. Vetrimaran was also present along with Malayalam directors Lijo Joseph Pellisherry, Kamal and Sibi.
He said, "Today the world is divided; you have to choose between left and right, there is no ricenter. If you choose a center that does not exist, it means you support the right." He also talks about storytelling from a male perspective.
Speaking at the event, Lijo Jose Pellissery said that unlike the time when movies were only screened in theaters, OTT platforms give viewers the freedom to choose what they want to see. He added, "Movies should be made so that audiences can decide where to watch it - the big screen or in OTT."
