Comfortable working with both Ranbir, Ranveer: Deepika

New Delhi: After performing a sensational chemistry with actor Ranbir Kapoor in “Tamasha”, actress Deepika Padukone, who is all set to perform a historic role as “Mastani” in “Bajirao Masatani”, stated that she is comfortable working with both actors.

Asked how promoting “Bajirao Mastani” with Ranveer is different from promoting “Tamasha” with Ranbir, Deepika said during a session at Agenda Aaj Tak, “Many told me,‘You have two releases back to back with not even a month’s gap, you’ll be exhausted’. Just like you can see, he (Ranveer) doesn’t let me talk much, which is good. He himself starts on his own tone.”

“On other hand, Ranbir speaks very less. At that time, it becomes my job to make up (for him). But during ‘Bajirao Mastani’ promotions, he (Ranveer) makes up for me.”

“I’m comfortable with both of them. It depends on the situation. I’m very adaptable,” Deepika added.

Set to release on December 18, “Bajirao Mastani”, directed by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, also stars Priyanka Chopra.

Talking about the film, Ranveer said: “Basically every Bhansali film is tagged as an emotional drama. But in ‘Bajirao Mastani’, people will get to see everything from emotional drama to action, romance, comedy and songs.”

While Deepika doesn’t have any other project lined up immediately after “Bajirao Mastani”, Ranveer will next be seen in filmmaker Aditya Chopra’s “Befikre”. The film will also star actress Vaani Kapoor.

“Since a long time I’ve had a dream to work with my mentor Aditya Chopra. I always wanted to star in a film in which he directs and I’ll be acting. It will be a beautiful romantic film. It will also feature Vaani. I’m really looking forward to this project. In ‘Befikre’, I’ll be clean shaved with long hair,” Ranveer said.

“Aditya sir is the reason because of which I’m here as he gave me my first break with his production venture ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’.”

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

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.
