Pawan Kalyan for Ram Charan: What’s Up?

It is known that Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan and his superstar nephew Ram Charan share a very close bond. The Babai-Abbai bonding between the duo is unlike any other we usually see in Tollywood as they absolutely enjoy each other’s company and have mutual adoration.

Coming to the topic now, the bonding between Ram Charan and Pawan Kalyan is set to be elevated to the next league as we are hearing that the AP deputy CM might be attending the pre release event of the former’s Game Changer.

As per reports, the makers of Game Changer are planning a grand pre release event for the film in Jauary ahead of the release and they are proposing the idea of bringing in Pawan Kalyan as the chief guest for the same.

Though this is only a plan in principal and bound to change, the very fact that Pawan could come together with Ram Charan for the event is leaving everyone super excited. Charan is keenly anticipating the release of Game Changer and this is an extremely important film for the Mega hero.

So, the presence of Pawan at the pre release event would not just boost the buzz surrounding the same but also ultimately add great value to the film. Earlier, Pawan attended the success meet of Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam and this event was a mega success back then.

As it appears, the makers of Game Changer are also planning something on these lines with the pre release event of their film. This would surely be a sight to behold for Mega fans.

Rana Daggubati says India’s low screen count is triggered by rising real estate cost

Actor Rana Daggubati, who is known for ‘Arrambam’, ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, ‘Baby’, ‘Housefull 4’ and others, has shared his insights on the Indian entertainment industry’s eternal problem of a diminishing screen count.Rana spoke with IANS ahead of the release of ‘All We Imagine as Light’ which won the Grand Prix at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

Rana, who is presenting the film to the audience across the country, told IANS, “India is definitely very very underscreened. In terms of the number of screens it has, 14, 000 is a very large number. India has only about 6000-8000 working screens, the rest are all diminishing in many ways. Out of which, a large part of it is in Andhra and Telangana, the areas that I live in.

He further mentioned, “But no, we just feel like it can be much more. Screens for different kinds of people, and the number of people that are around”.

He then pointed toward the axel that drives the problem of screen count: India’s real estate market.

The actor told IANS, “It would solve that problem but India’s real estate is not as cheap as the rest of the world. We have less land, and many people unlike the USA or China which have much more land mass than us. We can build many more things. So that would change. But it’s like a chicken and egg. Look at the cinemas now. Every festival we are over full”.

“And we feel like there is no space for new films. But the rest of the year as exhibitors. We just sit idle because there is no film. It’s that trick that we are falling in, I just feel like. Unless exhibitors also know that there is more cinema that they can play, different types of audience that they can reach out to, different types of marketing techniques, that they can start exploring”, he added.

‘All We Imagine as Light’ is set to arrive in cinemas in India on November 22.
