Actor
John
Abraham's
recent
statement
against
OTT
platforms
didn't
go
down
well
with
netizens,
and
they
were
quick
to
troll
him
left,
right
and
center.
Many
netizens
felt
that
there's
nothing
wrong
in
trying
out
new
things
for
actors,
and
if
any
actor
feels
offended
after
being
available
for
Rs
299,
then
it's
their
arrogance
which
they
should
work
upon.
Those
who
are
unaware
of
John's
controversial
statement,
he
told
Times
of
India
that
he
would
never
be
an
OTT
actor,
and
he
will
always
prefer
to
release
his
films
in
theatres
before
any
OTT
platform.
John
had
said,
"At
this
point,
I
will
do
films
that
cater
to
the
big
screen.
I
would
find
it
offensive
if
someone
shut
off
my
film
midway
on
a
tablet
because
they
needed
to
rush
to
the
washroom.
Also,
I
would
not
like
to
be
available
for
Rs
299
or
499.
I
have
a
problem
with
it."
Reacting
to
John's
statement,
a
netizen
tweeted,
"I
don't
even
prefer
to
watch
his
movies
telecast
on
TV
screen
for
free...
Forget
about
big
screen."
"Stubborn
people
won't
achieve
anything.
When
there
is
something
new
wherr
people
are
going
gaga,
no
matter
what
you
are,
you
must
adopt.
You
got
celebrity
tagline
by
people
and
if
you
wish
to
stay
away
from
them,
it's
your
choice.
Moreover
we
from
down
south
know
nothing
about
you.
Alldbest,"
tweeted
one
more
netizen.
On
more
netizen
wrote,
"Too
much
ego
for
someone
who
makes
movies
like
Satyamev
Jayate
2.
We
very
well
know
about
your
standards
after
watching
housefull
2
Mr.
John."
"It's
ok
that
you
don't
want
to
be
seen
on
OTT
but
the
words
you
used
shows
your
attitude...
particularly
using
amounts
299
,
499...that
sounds
very
arrogant,"
tweeted
another
netizen.
We
wonder
if
John
will
react
to
netizens' displeasure
towards
his
statement.
