Exhibitor Akshaye Rati said: S Shankar, a hardcore mushy filmmaker, has made Game Changer. Dinesh Vijan (producer), who is known for his storytelling skills, is supporting Sky Force along with Akshay Kumar. I feel that Chaava will do very good business as it is a story that is not well known outside of Maharashtra. 2024 was not such a great year in terms of sustaining the exhibition sector, with only a few films like ‘Pushpa 2’, ‘Stree 2’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ doing particularly well. So we’re looking forward to 2025 being a great year. ”
