Producer Anil Sunkara, through his AK Entertainments in collaboration with ATV Originals, has unveiled a unique venture on Tuesday, Show Time – Cinema Teeddam Randi, promoted as India’s first reality show centred entirely on the art of filmmaking. The show invites participants to experience every stage of movie production, from writing the script to editing the final cut.

“NEVER BEFORE… EVER AFTER! Lights, Camera and YOU! – it’s time for #SHOWTIME – CinemaTeeddamRandi! From script to screen – The First-ever Reality show on movie making. Actors, Writers, Editors & more… This is YOUR stage!” Sunkara posted, urging interested individuals to apply by sending their profiles to contact@ak.movie.

Open to a wide spectrum of talent, the show seeks hopefuls ranging from actors, story and dialogue writers, lyricists, assistant directors and editors to publicity designers. It aims to offer a rare opportunity to participate in a real-time filmmaking process and collaborate with experienced professionals in the industry.

This step marks a new direction for producer Anil Sunkara, who backed diverse films but has seen a string of failures like Agent and Bhola Shankar recently.
