Pan Nalin's latest Gujarati feature film, titled '

Chhello Show

', has been selected for the 20th edition of Robert DeNiro's

Tribeca

film festival. The Gujarati film 'Chhello Show' will premiere at an iconic outdoor venue in New York. Being the first of its kind for

Gujarati cinema

, the film has been made by a top-notch Indian and International crew. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, director Pan Nalin spills the beans about the selection of the film.

Pan said, "This news brings immense joy to me, and to my cast and crew who gave everything they have, through these difficult and testing times to make 'Chhello Show'. We could not have asked for more because Tribeca is a true temple of storytellers where masters have gathered and shared the stage with so many filmmakers. The premiere of 'Chhello Show' at the Tribeca is a great news for Gujarati cinema and Indian cinema. It is perfect timing, and we all need this because the new era of piped-in entertainment is here where cinema is just content, net is flix, box is office, foot is fall, and phone is smart. So, I'm happy that 'Chhello Show' is the movie to invite spectators back to theatres."

The director has set the film in the rural village of Saurashtra. 'Chhello Show' features Richa Meena, Bhavesh Shrimali, Rahul Koli, Tia Sebastian, Bhavin Rabari, Dipen Raval, Vijay Mer, Vikas Bata, Kishan Parmar, and Shoban Makwana. Meanwhile, the 20th Tribeca Film Festival will be held in several prestigious venues in New York City from 9th to 20th June.
