'Industry Has Ganged Up': The Kerala Story Director Sudipto Sen On Film Getting No OTT Buyers
The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, is one of the most popular films of 2023. The movie starring Adah Sharma shattered numerous box office records. The movie was criticised for its delicate treatment of religious conversions. In reality, The Kerala Story was initially banned in West Bengal, and many Tamil Nadu theatres refused to show it.
?The makers of TKS are currently having difficulty finding an OTT buyer for the movie, weeks after its debut. Sudipto claimed that the film industry had united against them.
Bollywood Hungama reports that the movie's creators are now having trouble finding a reliable OTT buyer for The Kerala Story. They haven't had any positive feedback up until this point.
¡°We still haven¡¯t got a suitable offer from any OTT platform for The Kerala Story,¡± said Sudipto, adding, ¡°We are still waiting for a good workable deal from any of the main OTT platforms. But so far, we have not got any offer worth considering. It seems the film industry has ganged up to punish us.¡±
But punishment for what? Sudipto said, ¡°Our box office success has irked many sections of the film industry. We have a feeling that a section of the entertainment industry has united to punish us for our success.¡±
