What Nivin Pauly Said About the Film’s Success
Pauly credited the film’s success not to numbers, but to the emotional connection audiences formed with it, noting that families were returning to theatres together and youngsters were bringing their grandparents along. He called that response “truly heartwarming” and said a character staying with people over the years matters more to an actor than any record.
On the Film’s Age-Gap Romance
Discussing the sensitive love story between Ashley and Justin, Pauly emphasized that his character never tries to control or possess Ashley, instead choosing to wait patiently to be chosen. He said compatibility, trust, and respect matter more than perfection in a relationship — even amid disagreements.
A Decade Since Premam
Looking back at the ten years since his career-defining hit Premam, Pauly reflected that success shouldn’t create fear but courage to experiment, adding that failure has taught him more clarity than repeating a winning formula ever could.
On Being Called the Second-Highest-Paid Actor
Rather than confirming pay figures, Pauly said he prefers focusing on relationships and trust built with producers and directors over the years, noting that post-BKU, the scale and ambition of projects offered to him have visibly grown.
