A struggling is happening internally among the various film circles. The issue at the centre is the release of the movies on the digital platform. The emerging buzz is leading to multiple clarifications, as a result.
In Hindi, it was previously about the biggie Laxmi Bomb. Now, a few more have joined the list, the most significant one being 83. The Ranveer Singh starrer is a biopic that recreates the team India’s astonishing World Cup victory as an underdog in 1983. The makers agree that offers have come its way, but they have been rejected. Apart from them, there are a couple more, small to medium budget flicks in line as well.
Similarly, in Tamil a controversy has erupted with Suriya backed Pon Magal Vandhal opting for OTT release. The distributors association threatened to issue a red card and ban the makers. It led the producers to come together and come to an amicable solution. It is decided that small to medium budget films can opt for OTT release depending on the financial situation.
A day later, the buzz in the industry is that a few more films are looking at digital debut. The prominent ones among them are Santhanam starrer Server Sundaram, and Trisha headed Paramapatham Vilayattu. Everything will depend on how the audience responds to Jyothika’s Pon Magal Vandhal as and when it released online.
