The producers and distributors of Telangana are at loggerheads over revenue generated from films. As the exhibitors demand a percentage-sharing model over the fixed rental model, Suniel Narang of Asian Cinemas and Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainments have fired shots at each other. Suniel even called Vamsi a ‘snake’ and a ‘producer with duplicate hair’. Suniel Narang and Naga Vamsi fired shots at each other recently. Naga Vamsi alleges multiplexes given preference over single screens Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers, Vamsi, and other members of the Producers Guild held a press conference to discuss the issue. At the press meet, Vamsi said, “People will come to theatres if you develop single screens over multiplexes. Look at Vizag, single screens there generate more revenue than plexes.” He added, “One big exhibitor has had Mallikarjuna and Brahmaramba theatres under lease for years now.

“Stay Inspired”: Gagan Narang To Athletes Missing Out On Khel Ratna

Olympic medallist shooter Gagan Narang has urged athletes, who were not nominated for this year’s Khel Ratna Award, to not get disheartened but take it as a challenge to do better in future competitions. Some para-athletes like archer Harvinder Singh, who turned his Tokyo Games bronze into a gold in Paris last year, have expressed their disappointment at not being considered for Khel Ratna.

If not this time, one can get it next year. I don’t think it should be a de-motivating factor… they should get inspired to perform better in the future.” Narang said athletes had realised over time that country is above …
