Talpade's
streaming
platform
called
Nine
Rasa
has
pledged
to
help
support
theatre
actors
and
artists
with
the
earnings
from
the
platform.
According
to
Talpade's
new
initiative,
the
app
will
give
artists
a
chance
to
showcase
their
live
performances.
According
to
reports,
Nine
Rasa
which
was
launched
last
year
has
now
an
exclusive
catalogue
of
plays,
live
performances,
and
different
forms
of
storytelling.
The
streaming
platform
will
reportedly
organise
joint
screening
of
plays
with
clubs
or
groups.
Nine
Rasa
is
a
paid
subscription-based
service
that
can
be
used
by
home
audience
to
watch
live
performances
like
plays,
skits,
storytelling,
and
stand-up
across
genres.
The
platform
is
also
available
in
multiple
languages,
including
Hindi,
Marathi,
Gujarati
and
English.
The
Bollywood
actor
revealed
to
IANS
that
a
sizeable
percentage
of
the
revenue
would
go
to
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
show,
while
the
remaining
revenue
would
be
given
to
people
in
the
theatre
community
who
need
help.
Shreyas
added,
"We
started
Nine
Rasa
with
the
idea
of
helping
the
theatre
community
during
lockdown
last
year.
This
year
again
they
are
facing
the
same
consequences
because
of
the
virus.
Hence,
our
Nine
Rasa
team
and
I
decided
to
do
something
for
them
again.
I
hope
people
come
in
large
numbers
and
contribute
to
this
noble
cause.
I
also
request
people
to
be
safe
and
take
care
of
their
loved
ones
in
these
difficult
times."
