Asian Group Suniel Narang is spearheading the movement against the OTT on the behalf of Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce. The representatives of the Chamber called for a press meet in Hyderabad and served an ultimatum to producers against releasing their films on OTT.
They asked the producers to wait at least until October 30th before opting for OTT releases. ” If things are not normal by then, you can release your films on OTT. If you do not heed our request, we will be forced to take tough decisions,” Chamber’s Secretary Suniel Narang said.
“I am a producer myself. I know the pain of the producers but exhibitors are suffering the most. My film, Love Story has got ten massive offers from OTT, but I still decided to release the movie only in the theaters,” Suniel Narang added.
Love Story is the first film to get postponed due to the COVID second wave. It will also be one of the first releases in theaters when the normalcy returns.
