“Gujarati theatre is vibrant and deeply rooted in our culture. forms a huge part of India's theatre culture. Gujarati, Marathi, and Bengali theatre are practically the pillars of India’s theatre ecosystem. When it comes to Gujarati cinema, there are a few factors at play. For starters, it's about perception and evolution. Telugu cinema, for example, has managed to create a niche and then exploded with larger-than-life storytelling, big budgets, and a very loyal fanbase. Gujarati cinema, on the other hand, is still in its nascent stage of this kind of evolution,” Ghelani stated.
