What: Here is an ironic shocker about the vagaries of the entertainment industry. By now every box office analyst and trade guru knows that Sudipto Sen’s The Kerala Story is a certifiable blockbuster.
Furthermore: However, when director Sudipto Sen was reached, his response was shocking. “We still haven’t got a suitable offer from any OTT platform for The Kerala Story.” But what about all the reports of the film being ready for streaming? Says Sudipto, “No no. That’s fake news. 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.”
We say: Bollywood sure has a very dark underbelly. It is said that some of the biggest and the best in the industry just can’t stomach anybody else’s success and they strive to sabotage it. Is that what happened to The Kerala Story?
