Lijo Jose Pellissery Reacts To Malayalam Films Releasing On OTT Platforms!
Lijo Jose Pellissery, the supremely talented filmmaker has finally reacted to the much-publicized OTT release of the Malayalam films. As reported earlier, some of the Malayalam production banners have decided to release their upcoming films directly on platforms, this lockdown time. Lijo Jose Pellissery revealed his take on the scenario through a recent interview.
In the recent interview given to a popular Malayalam daily, Lijo Pellissery stated that films should be prioritized only after we win back out lives from the pandemic. However, the Jallikattu director agrees that it is the only means of survival for the film producers in the current situation.
Here is what Lijo Jose Pellissery has to say...
'The
film
producers
have
all
the
right
to
release
their
production
ventures
in
the
platforms
they
think
is
favourable.
Similarly,
it
is
the
theater
owners
who
have
the
right
to
decide
which
film
should
be
released
in
the
theaters.
At
the
same
time,
the
viewers
have
the
utmost
freedom
to
the
medium
and
time
to
watch
the
films
according
to
their
personal
preferences.
However, it is not practical for everyone to wait for the release of a film for another eight or ten months. But at the same time, films should be given the priority only after we win back our lives.', said Lijo Jose Pellissery.
To the uninitiated, the Malayalam film industry is all set to have its first-ever direct OTT release very soon, with the upcoming Jayasurya-Aditi Rao Hydari starrer Sufiyum Sujathayum. But, this decision has not gone well with the theater owners association. Reportedly, the association has even decided to ban Vijay Babu, the producer of the project from releasing his film in the theaters hereafter.
