Experts on whether movies will release directly on OTT platforms

 

Well, this surely helps clear the air. Not just Dhananjayan, Nikilesh Surya, owner of Rohini Silver Screens, also jumped into the fray and said, “Revenue fetched by online and satellite sale is less than 25% of a movie's budget (Medium sized or more). Also almost all the movies fetch a price only after they release and become a hit,until then they don't have a value to them. Hence, currently it is not monetarily feasible.” (sic)
