The film is slated to hit the screens on October 14.

This time a Gujarati language film is chosen. I am sure that this will definitely give an encouraging push to the Gujarati film industry. Veer Hamirji – Somnath Ni Sakhate was the first ever Gujarati film to have been shortlisted for Oscars in 2012 but wasn’t nominated," Asit said. 

The show's creator continued and told Koimoi that theatres in Gujarat have evolved over the years and films like Chhello Show prove to be a positive development. “Theatre in Gujarat has always been very strong and it’s time films also received the same focus. Chhello Show (Last Film Show) is a positive development for us. Besides representing India, it is also showcasing our creative expertise to the World. Congratulations and all the best to the writer-director Pan Navin and the producers of the film," he added.
