Deepak Tijori's Gujarati Film Faces Screen Snatchers

Deepak Tijori, a prominent actor from the 90s, has voiced strong objections regarding the screening of his recent Gujarati film, 'Get Set Go'. Released on August 7, the film reportedly experienced a significant drop in showtimes shortly after the debut of two Hindi movies, 'Batwara 1947' and 'Awarapan 2'.

Tijori expressed his dismay, stating that the film was performing well initially, but its screenings vanished upon the arrival of the larger Hindi releases. He highlighted the substantial investment and effort put into the film, emphasizing that Gujarati cinema deserves recognition and adequate screen space within its home state. He specifically requested the Gujarat government to implement a policy mandating a minimum number of shows for Gujarati films, drawing a parallel to existing regulations for Marathi films in Maharashtra.

He further clarified that mere subsidies are insufficient, and tangible support is needed to ensure Gujarati films remain accessible to audiences. The sudden disappearance of his film from cinemas left him in shock, underscoring the urgent need for governmental backing to protect and promote regional cinema.
