'After the second wave of Corona, the epidemic is now slowly coming under control in the country and theaters are also starting to open. The theater's ecosystem depends on its ownership and what kind of films are made.

In South India, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, it is run by filmmakers and film studio theater-chains. This is a great investment for them to start a theater chain.

They also make the film extremely fast. This does not happen in other business territories. In the South, too, there is a larger mainstream film with stories, Larger Than Life.

Writers for the big screen also write wonderful stories and big films are made based on it. Along with this, viewers are also eager to see films on the big screen, 'says Rana.

Admitting that the epidemic has had the biggest impact on the film business, Rana says that in the last 12 months, viewers have watched a lot of content on various channels without any barriers to language and culture.

Now it will increase and also improve. On the other hand, we need to know which content will work more in which space. What content will work on the Big Screen and OTT is now divided into two parts, and it is quite clear.

The use of cinema is ubiquitous and will come in handy. This means that what is for the big screen will be used for the big screen and the rest will be used for other platforms, 'Rana added.

From the films of the South to Hindi films and from Hindi to the films of the South, the work of actors will continue. More actors from Hindi films will go to films in the South.

Similarly some Tamil artists will go into Hindi. But now whatever happens - annihilation and connection will continue to happen. Now everyone sees everything.

People are now starting to see their talents coming from different industries. In the future, people will choose to see something like this in a cinema. People will come forward to see how new talents from different industries of the country can be seen and how industries are developing, 'said Rana.

Rana, who plays Rana in the lead role in the bilingual film 'Hathi Mere Saathi' and his frequent release dates have been extended, says, ‘Hathi Mere Saathi’ is very special and extremely poignant in today’s times.

We need to understand this and understand the value of nature better than we have ever understood before. The experience of enjoying this film in different languages ​​with members of different communities will be beautiful, 'said Rana.

Is the attraction of digital medium felt right? - Regarding such a question, Rana said, 'Yes, I will work in it. I find this space very interesting. If something happens in the long-format, I will definitely be a part of it. It's really interesting to know how long the story goes on in self-life.

The characters get a wide range and the actors love to show off their talents. By comparison, it has a definite story from beginning to end and the film has a journey of an actor.

OTT show space, connections and deadlines are fixed which is relatively long. I have a keen interest in working for OTT and if given the right opportunity, I will work for it, ”Rana added.
