Chennai: Actor Nandoo says forthcoming Telugu drama “365 Days”, a peek into the life of a couple post-nuptials, helped him understand his wife better and the whole experience had a positive effect on his marriage.

“The movie throws light on the good and bad side of a relationship. It made me realise that for any relationship to succeed, one needs to accept the good and bad in his or her partner. It has had a very positive effect on my marriage,” Nandoo told.

Nandoo is married to singer Geetha Madhuri for over a year now.

In Ram Gopal Varma’s “365 Days”, Nandoo is paired with Anaika Soti.

“If 100 people watch it, I’m sure at least 30 will very closely relate with it. I’ve seen people going though ups and downs in a relationship and for them ‘365 Days’ will be very special,” Nandoo said.

“By the end of the movie, audiences will come to the realisation that a relationship is about simple compromises. It’s a very thought provoking movie,” he said.

Nandoo added the character he plays in the movie took a toll on him.

“I haven’t played anything so serious in my career so far. There was lot of pressure in preparation for this character. As an actor, this film will take me to the next level in my career,” he said.

On working with Varma, he said: “This project marks Ramu sir’s grand comeback to the romance genre. I think it’s his first romantic musical after ‘Rangeela’, and it’s going to be a treat for all those who closely follow his films.

“It’s a special film for me as well. He has spent about Rs.4 crore on the project, and for a song, he spent a whopping Rs.35 lakh,” he said.

For a special song, Nandoo and Anaika spent about 60 hours shooting non-stop.

“We shot for the song for about five days at a stretch. Initially, the idea of a rain song sounded fun, but by the time we finished shooting the song, we were completely exhausted,” he added.

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
