IF THIS BIGGIE RELEASES DIRECTLY ON OTT, THE SUBSCRIPTION COST WILL INCREASE - POPULAR THEATRE RESPONDS

In reponse to them, over 30 Tamil producers released a joint statement in which they stated their decisioj to release small and medium budget films directly on OTT platforms. They strongly asserted that A film producer has every right to exploit their films in order to recover their investment. The producers also requested distributors and theater owners to cooperate with them and asked the theatre association not to take any decision which hurts the interests of a producer. 

A popular theatre owner expressed his disagreement over the producer's statement in a series of tweets. He said that "If OTT gonna bring down cinema let me say one thing, still Hollywood not releasing their movies into OTT nor any big budget films around the world. If that happens, I mean if OTT platforms bought a movie like Avatar 2, probably the subscription cost will change". He also said that theatre experience cant be created at home unless people have home theatre system. He further said "See I like OTT, I'm not against it. But I'm against movies should be exclusive to OTT. Let the movies get released in theatre and based on it's Box office performance release the movie on OTT soon or later, no problem!! For me more than a experience I love the celebrations".
