Harish Shankar is one of the leading directors in Tollywood. The director who delivered some of the biggest blockbusters like Mirapakay and Gabbar Singh is all set to direct Pawan Kalyan for Ustaa Bhagat Singh which will start rolling soon.
Harish Shankar who doesn’t mince his words seems to be quite unhappy with the heads of OTTs and made some controversial comments about them. “The so-called content heads of OTTs are enjoying their designation, not the content. No matter how big a director you are, you have to go to their office and wait for hours to narrate an idea. We are passionate filmmakers and could wait, but you should change your ways too”, commented Harish Shankar.
The filmmaker also added that creating content for OTTs doesn’t fetch them huge money as films do, but still they would love to do that.
Wonder why? “Though we know that we don’t have much financial benefit here, we are enjoying the lack of limitations and creative liberty in the OTT arena. Most of those who acted in the Maya bazaar movie died, but the film remained. We are not permanent, but cinema is permanent”, Harish Shankar further added.
