On Monday, filmmaker Karan Johar during an interview shared about misreports of box office numbers and OTT challenges.
The filmmaker recently made his comeback on the big screen with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani also spoke about how the introduction of OTT has changed things.
The director said, “We are all liars. We are all big, fat liars. The industry sometimes fudges up box office numbers as well.”
Karan also shared, “I don’t think OTT content is a threat to cinema. I believe that one empowers the other. I believe that writers are so empowered on streaming platforms because it’s a writer medium – it always has been that way. The series format is the writers’ medium. The OTT format is totally different from the film format. There’s more characterization, there’s more detailing, and it’s over a period of eight episodes. It’s a totally different journey than watching a film.”
