- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,June 26 2023]
'The Kerala Story,' starring Adah Sharma, director Sudipto Sen is having trouble negotiating a streaming arrangement with OTT platforms despite grossing over Rs 200 crore. Sudipto denied rumors that the film would be offered on an OTT platform. He was disappointed that the film industry seemed to collude against them, jealous of their box office success.
According to insiders, the film's subject matter has created controversy among some audiences, making large OTT platforms hesitant to buy it to avoid political content. The platform's concentration on intelligent, thought-provoking, and entertaining content conflicts with the film's propaganda. Thus, 'The Kerala Story' doesn't fit their categories.
Sudipto Sen and his team hope to get a good agreement from one of the major OTT platforms, but they haven't yet. They think the film industry resents their success. 'The Kerala Story''s digital fate is unknown as it awaits an OTT arrangement.
