New Delhi:
Parineeti Chopta, in a recent interview with Filmfare, opened up to movies released on OTT platforms and said it was a “compromise”. The actress, promoting his next film Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar just before India locks out, said she would “hate” him if his movies were released online. Many filmmakers choose OTT platforms to present their films instead of theatrical release due to the current coronavirus crisis. Talking to Filmfare about the trend change, Parineeti said: “Somehow, we’re still traditional and we think OTT is a compromised version. But you never know, everyone changes their way of think and function. ” “Perhaps, OTT will become more important now. But there is in me this traditional Indian film lover, who believes that cinema will never die. We want our films to be released in theaters, every time that happens”, a she added.
Other than Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, The next projects of Parineeti Chopra include The girl on the train and the Saina Nehwal biopic. Speaking of his films, Parineeti told Filmfare: “Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar was ready to go out. We were in two days in promotions when all this happened. The girl on the train is not yet ready as they are in the process of editing and locking the final cuts. Oddly enough, it is a blessing in disguise. Because I know that once the lockout is finished, they will work on it and then decide if they want a room or OTT release. The same goes for the Saina Nehwal biopic. All these films are so important to me. I literally bet my life on them and worked hard on them. I would hate a compromised version for them. “
