What Made Naga Vamsi Land in the Ongoing Debate Surrounding ‘Dhurandhar’

During a discussion at the Galatta Plus Mega Pan-India Producer's Round Table 2024, there was a discussion about the influence and reach of regional cinemas in India and abroad. Producer Boney Kapoor said that Telugu films have a unique market in the US Vamsi interrupted him by saying, "One thing, sir, you have to accept this. It might sound really harsh.
