Kashyap Sreenivas, who is set to make his directorial debut with Tharun Bhascker’s Gaayapadda Simham, feels that India is yet to develop in the digital space and that there is a great room for improvement. He stated that India is yet to get even one series that matches the standards of Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.
“Back in 2013, I wanted to make a show as I anticipated that the web series market would open up in India. Now there are apps, but where is the content? Where is our Game of Thrones? Where is our Breaking Bad? I feel we are not realizing our full potential,” said the director.
He added, “Even with the growth of OTT, I don’t think we utilized it well.” Will the director score success with his first film? Will he venture into the OTT space and create ambitious shows? Let’s wait and see.
