India’s Official Oscar Entry, ‘2018 – Everyone is a Hero,’ is poised to make cinematic history in the US, with a release scheduled across more than 400 screens in South America. This momentous occasion marks a significant milestone for the Indian film industry, thanks to the collaborative efforts of producers Venu Kunnappilly from Kavya Films and Marcelo Bonzi of MB Films.
Expressing his joy, Venu shares anticipation for witnessing the first Indian theatrical release in South America. Indie wood Distribution Network, representing the Dubai-based Aries Group, played a crucial role in extending the reach of ‘2018’ to South America. Maurizio Bonzi, CEO of MB Films, reveals that his mother’s admiration for Indian cinema inspired this venture.
Director Jude Anthony, presently in the US for promotional activities leading up to the Oscars, expresses gratitude for the global audience’s love and support. He believes ‘2018’ will be a milestone, not just culturally but also socially, delivering a powerful message to inspire South American audiences.
Filmmaker Marcelo Bonzi recognizes the global significance of ‘2018,’ addressing universal concerns such as dam disasters and floods. Beyond the accolades, the film’s focus on climate change resonates with shared challenges faced globally. Marcelo plans an extensive release of ‘2018’ in at least 400 theaters in the initial phase, aiming to bridge the gap between Indian and Latin American film industries.
Maurizio Bonzi acknowledges his mother’s multiple viewings of ‘RRR’ and emphasizes the need to connect Indian and Latin American cinema, paving the way for cultural exchange and collaboration.
