Rahul Koli, the 10-year-old child star of India’s Oscars entry ‘Chello Show’ ('Last Film Show'), died of leukaemia at a cancer hospital in Ahmedabad on October 2.
Family members of the child star held a prayer meeting at their village, Hapa near Jamnagar on Monday.
Ramu Koli, father of Rahul who is an autorickshaw driver, said, “He was so happy and would often tell me that our lives would change after October 14 (the release date of the movie). But he left us before that.”
The film is India's official entry to the 95th Oscars. The Gujarati-language coming-of-age drama was set to release theatrically across India on Friday (October 14), but audiences can catch it in advance on Thursday night itself.
Surprise! Releasing a show earlier!
