Starting today (December 25) the Rann team will edit and publish a 10-page daily newspaper called the Rann Times.
Like any daily Rann Times will carry news on politics entertainment sports and other social activities.
The paper which will be distributed in 500 multiplex theatres across the country will have a circulation of 3 lakhs.
Says producer Madhu Mantena, "Since Rann is about the relationship between the common man and the media we thought a daily newspaper would be a good way of supporting our film. We will continue to publish Rann Times until the film's release."
A year ago during the release of the same producer's Ghajini the staffers of a multiplex had been given Aamir Khan's ‘Ghajini' hairstyles.
Laughs Mantena, "You've to admit publishing a newspaper is more creative than shaving heads."
Apparently Mantena took Aamir Khan's advice on Rann Times even though there is no love lost between Aamir and the Rann director Ram Gopal Varma from the time they worked together 14 years ago in Rangeela. In fact from Rangeela to Rann the two are not on speaking terms.
