EXCLUSIVE: Taapsee Pannu has THIS to say about OTT platforms being unaffected by the star system

Taapsee Pannu is all set for the release of her much talked about next Haseen Dillruba which will also star Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane. Haseen Dillruba will mark Taapsee’s digital debut and she is totally excited to be in a space that is so unaffected by the star system in Bollywood. She said that OTT platforms have become a level playing field for all actors. We recently sat down for a chat with Taapsee, Vikrant Massey, Harshvardhan Rane, and director Vinil Mathew and asked them about the pros of having a digital release.

Taapsee said, “You get screens and shows in a theatre. So your screens and shows are decided based on your stardom, your star value and your crowd-pulling value. But here, when you come on an OTT platform, it’s the same number of screens you’re going to get and the same number of shows possible for your film. So that way it becomes a level playing ground for all the actors together. Now it’s about who gives the best film, that is going to speak. So it’s interesting and I like the space, “

The Haseen Dillruba actress further added, “Obviously, when you aspire to become a star more than just an actor, for you it’s like how do I measure the stardom here; that measuring meter is not there. But then you can at least look at the glass half full saying that now ok now at least I will not feel said that because of certain distribution channels or other auxiliary issues, my film couldn’t reach so many people. All these things that are out of control for an actor, those things won’t be there now.”

Vikrant added, “I have worked in all possible mediums of entertainemnt. So with whatever experience I have, I can say that with the advent of digitisation, everything going seamless has given us an opportunity to pull up our socks and compete at an international standrad. So today any content from any part of the world is accesable to me at the click of a button. It is a great space to be in for any creative individual. Is it a level playing field? I guess we are comparatively at a very nascent stage right now.”
