‘Theatrical cinema always the ‘Baap’ of manoranjan, with OTT as family ” insists star-actor Suniel Shetty

Health and fitness-freak celeb-actor-dynamic entrepreneur Suniel V. Shetty with his macho image has been an iconic inspiration for the youth. Because as he declared, he totally refrains from personal use or promotion of tobacco, alcohol or cigarettes. “ Of course, to each his own choices and preferences, but I personally am health-conscious and even consume less food and avoid sweets - Chaitanya Padukone

No, I am not a saint and I do have my own flaws,” said enterprising Suniel at the Meraki Real Estate event, where the rugged macho actor has been appointed their ‘brand ambassador’ of Meraki Project headed by ‘CMD’ Ram Kharpuriya.

‘Nature-lover’ Suniel Shetty ( fondly called Annah—meaning elder brother) justified his association with Meraki Real Estate Project explaining “that he is happy bring part of the projects as the company plans maintained aesthetic natural landscaping while building second homes for people with natural greenery all around with lots of wonderful trees and plants”.

It is a known fact, that other than movies, ‘real estate’ has also been Suniel\s prime focus and he also has his own company ‘S2 Realty & Developers’ When asked to share his candid views regarding the recent Hindi-bhasha controversy, the outspoken versatile Hera Pheri’ actor Shetty reacted, “ Essentially we all are Indians first.. Actually the language of the movie does not matter, it’s the content that counts. Because ultimately ‘content is the king’.

Yes, I am a Mumbaikar, and Mumbai is my karmabhoomi, but I come from the South region. Audiences are super-intelligent and they decide which movies to see or avoid.

Movies made in Hindi or with Hindi dubbed-dialogues or Hindi sub-titles allow for All-India recognition and national-level box-office response. Sometimes I feel that we have forgotten the audience and are not catering to them.

Heroism has moved up, but heroes nahi rahe,”shrugs Suniel who also shared his candid views on the Magic of Theatre-Cinema versus OTT debate. “Theatres-Cinema is the Baap of screen-entertainment.

All the other alternates like digital OTT are like family members. Lekin ‘Baap’ hamesha ‘Baap’ rahega,” asserted ‘Darbar’ actor Suniel (Annah) Shetty, as the invitees at Hotel Novotel venue cheered him with thunderous applause for his frank views.
