With theatres closed due to the ongoing pandemic, there is an ongoing debate over whether an OTT release is the future. However, actor Abhishek Bachchan, who received good reviews for his web debut 'Breathe Into The Shadows', believes there is no debate in the first place.
He says, “The media has made it into a debate. There are opinions. I don't know if this discussion would be happening if we weren't in the middle of a pandemic. But circumstances are such that we have to do whatever best we can.” He adds, “I want my work and film out to as many people to come and watch it. If that's in a movie theatre, I'd like as many people to come and watch it. If it's a streaming platform, as many go to come there to see it. I want them to see my films without compromising their safety. If during these unprecedented times, I have an avenue through which I can do that, I am more than happy.”
Abhishek also spoke about his father, Amitabh Bachchan's direct-to-OTT release with 'Gulabo Sitabo' earlier this year. “I think as actors, we like to believe, and if I may speak for him, we're just happy to have a job and get to share our creativity with the audience.”
