Almost all the 24 crafts in the film industry are feeling coronavirus heat and sources say the impact is more severe on young Directors. Those who are coming to know about it are in a state of shock. Inside talk is young Directors are facing heat and powerful impact from OTT platforms.
Even earlier, people used to have OTT platforms but due to their busy schedule, they did not get time to watch movies. Even when they got time, they used to watch one or two films. But due to lockdown, they started looking towards OTT and many started taking new subscriptions and enjoy films.
They are not stopping with Telugu but also watching Hindi, English, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, etc. Apart from it, they are watching even Spanish, Japanese and Korean cinemas.
One may question how young Directors will get affected by it. If they get inspiration or remake from any of these stories, then freshness will be missed. There is no denying the fact that most of the Directors in the industry draw inspiration from films in various languages.
They will be in for trouble as people will find out easily whether they lifted the story and made some changes in the name of Telugu nativity in the future. But some say this will reduce free makes and copycats will be reduced and Tollywood will get novel and creative ideas.
