Describing the set ways of India's exhibition sector, Nalin said to HT that India can be very hard on movies which are without any stars, studios or streamers. "The exhibition sector always underestimates Indian audiences, and the year 2022 has been big proof of that. I have always believed that the audiences are smarter than the filmmaker, if they are given the opportunity to watch films like Chhello Show, they will embrace it -- but the film must come to a cinema near them,” he was quoted saying.

The trailer of Pan Nalin's 'Last Film Show' ('Chhello Show') is now out. The film has been selected as India's Official Entry to the Best International Feature Film category at the 95th Academy Awards.

Amidst allegations that 'Chhello Show', India's official entry to the Oscars 2023 is a copy of the Academy Award-winning 1988 film 'Cinema Paradiso', director Pan Nalin has finally reacted.

In more ways than one, it depicts how Pan Nalin, a US-based filmmaker with roots in Gujarat, discovered and got hooked to films for life some five decades ago.
