Chello Show director Pan Nalin made shocking revelations right after the film got shortlisted for the Oscars and Indians started celebrating the moment. He said fans of RRR threaten him and Chello Show makers to withdraw from the Oscars race.
It is known that the Indian jury snubbed RRR much against the wishes and aspirations of millions of people and selected Chello Show as its official entry. From then on, many expressed their displeasure and even top celebrities and critics felt that the Indian jury is not in sync with the tastes of the Oscars committee.
Pan Nalin speaking to scribes revealed “That moment soon turned sad (as we faced) baseless allegations, and trolling. The worst was the cyber attack prior to our film’s release. My team was threatened with warnings: ‘Oscars mein se film nikaal, nahin toh achcha nahin hoga’ (Withdraw your film from the Oscars or it won’t be good). Instead of celebrating and campaigning in the US, we were busy fighting this for three to four weeks.” He said most of them are fans of RRR movie.
