Nadiadwala,Yashraj Films Won’t Take The OTT Route

While  several filmmakers are seriously looking at crossing over  to the  OTT platform, two major productions  houses won’t hear of it, let alone seriously consider the crossing over to the compact format.

These producers who won’t say yes to OTT are Sajid Nadiadwala and  Aditya  Chopra.

While  no  official confirmation on this issue is  obtainable  from either, sources close to both confirm that these producers won’t give in.

“Sajid Nadiawala feels he makes films for the big screen. His last  production  Baaghi 3 which  reached the big screen   just before movie theatres downed  their shutters  was a  big success in spite of  the virus threat. Sajid feels  that to be a sign of how  devoted his audience is  to the large-screen  experience,” says a friend  of the  hotshot producer. The  source adds that none  of   Nadiadwala’s films  would go to the  digital platform.

 One hears a similar ‘no’  policy forYashraj films  vis-a –vis the OTT platform.

“As of now, no  pending or underproduction  film of Yashraj Films is going to the digital platform,” says  an informed source. As a matter  of fact, several leading  production houses feel there  are  films  are made  specially for the  OTT platform and then there are  those that are designed  for  the big screen, and the twain shall never meet.
