Speaking to audiences in Singapore at a special screening of the movie in June, How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies director Pat Boonnitipat said that the film’s success took him by surprise.
“People were telling me that the movie, which is about a traditional Chinese family, will naturally do well in a Mandarin-speaking country. But when it did well in Indonesia, I realised that the story is universal,” he said.
“Everyone can relate to the bond between a grandmother and her grandson.”
