The uncertainty over theatres opening and the current pandemic situation has led to many producers moving towards OTT. Out of these, the biggest name is Suresh Babu who has decided to release 3 of his upcoming big-ticket films on digital mediums. Virata Parvam, Narappa and Drushyam 2 are the three prominent films releasing on OTT soon.
However, a recent appeal by the Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce (TSFCC) has made the situation rather interesting. In the view of a number of producers moving towards OTTs, the TSFCC has issued a note requesting the producers to wait. The statement put out has requested the producers to wait till October 2021 and if the situation still doesn’t improve then opt for OTT.
Now it needs to be seen how Suresh Babu being one of the biggest names in Tollywood reacts to this request. Is he going to stall the deal with OTT for the three films or is he going to go ahead with the release is something that needs to be seen.
The note has also requested the AP government to relook into the issue of ticket rates across the state and reconsider its G.O earlier issued.
