Chanakya Patel on 'Chabutro': I am overwhelmed by the audience responses-Exclusive!

The Gujarati film 'Chabutro' has been ruling the hearts of the Gujarati audience since the time of its release. The film that captures the beauty of Chicago and Ahmedabad has impressed moviegoers and kept them glued to their seats till the last minute of the movie.

The lead actors Raunaq Kamdar and Anjali Barot have lightened the screen with their remarkable onscreen chemistry. Raunaq, who has already made a space for himself in the Gujarati audience’s hearts, effortlessly portrayed his part as Viraj, while Gujarati industry debutant Anjali Barot shines in her role as Nivedita. Senior artists like Dharmesh Vyas, Chhaya Vora, and Annapurna Shukla also add to the charm of this movie.

As the film received widespread acclaim, director Chanakya Patel shared, "I am overwhelmed by audience responses. I have been reading reviews all over social media and have been getting praise for my work as a writer and director. Even when I randomly sneak into the theatre, I love to see the audience's reactions to the jokes in the film and emotional scenes."

"After the show, the crowd walks up to me and shares how well they received the movie and how well they could relate to it. It's a good time for Gujarati cinema and hopes the Gujarati audience will support local movies as we see in South India. This is a stepping stone for me as a storyteller and I do look forward to making more movies in the future, the director signed off happily," signs off in an exclusive conversation with ETimes.
