 "Kangana Ranaut reveals OTT platforms are not performing well: 'They are all running in losses because...'")
OTT as a platform may have seen massive boom since the historic success of Netflix’s Sacred Games back in 2018, which then continued with many other streaming giants, Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut begs to differ.
During an event on TV9 Bharatvarsh, the actress made some surprising revelations and said, “You are portraying a very rosy picture of OTT. It had a bit of an upsurge at the beginning of COVID, where everyone felt it looked promising. Then there was this great fall. I can say with certain assurance that none of them (the platforms) are performing well. They are all running in losses.”
She added, “Whenever a film did a blockbuster business, it had footfall in the range of two to three crores. OTT has divided this theatre-going audience into compartments. They have some millions of subscribers but are not able to cultivate new audiences, which is a big setback. They have taken away (the audience) from all your moderate-budget films, like English Vinglish, Queen, and Piku, from the theatres.”
Recently, the actress also claimed that several popular Bollywood celebrities have been using the dark web to gain unauthorised access to people’s messaging applications like WhatsApp as well as emails. This came after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India issued a final set of recommendations to introduce caller identification (caller ID) as a default feature across domestic telecommunications, through which people’s registered names with phone numbers will be displayed while making phone calls.
