THE GREAT NEXT MIGRATION
Life on the planet is on the move – the plant kingdom, wild animal species and people. But far from being a disruptive behaviour, as popular media would have us believe, migration is, in fact, an ancient and lifesaving response.

Meet five eminently watchable actors fronting Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada cinema, as they dwell on their extraordinary journeys and why, pandemic or not, breaking the mould is a full-time job.
