A lot of films have started coming to OTT. However, the conversation around the same hasn’t ceased. In an exclusive with Behindwoods, actress Kasturi Shankar addressed this and more.
Calling OTT a platform, she said that Kamal Haasan had tried something similar when he wanted to telecast Viswaroopam on DTH. However, that time it was met with hostility. She calls OTT as being due to disruptive technology and those who adapt to it as a bid to survive.
Heaping praises on Suriya, she said that the actor has adjusted to the times. She also said that people need to understand that he is giving up on the market he has as a hero so that as a producer those who are dependent on him would survive.
She also pointed out that in the recent past, Suriya’s films hadn’t been welcomed very aggressively in theatres and the price Amazon Prime would have given him would have been big.
