Vishal Bhardwaj on OTT Impact
Vishal Bhardwaj is a famous Indian filmmaker known for movies like Maqbool, Omkara, and Haider.
He recently said that because of OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, it's very hard to make bold and political films like Haider today.
He thinks that the balance in the film industry has changed a lot, especially with the influence of these streaming platforms.
He was talking about this at the launch of his new movie, O’Romeo.
He also mentioned that he didn't have problems with big companies before, but now things are different.
Vishal Bhardwaj admits he can't make a film like Haider today due to OTT influence.
He believes OTT platforms have disrupted the balance in the Hindi film industry.
Bhardwaj made Haider in 2014, which was a politically daring film.
He has no issues with corporate involvement but finds OTT platforms challenging.
The comments were made during the trailer launch of his upcoming film, O’Romeo.
