Director Vikramaditya Motwane says that OTT platform Netflix isn바카라™t doing enough to push original Indian stories. Motwane바카라™s Sacred Games was the first Netflix Indian original that made a mark in the Indian OTT space.

Motwane, in a chat with The Streaming Show podcast, said, 바카라œYes, Rana Naidu and Class have done extremely well for you (Netflix), but that바카라™s Ray Donovan and Elite. It바카라™s not original Indian content.바카라 The filmmaker said that 바카라œyou can do remakes바카라 but 바카라œit바카라™s your duty, your responsibility to push original Indian content out there. We are always going to go out there and find the quickest solution possible because you need to deliver something to the streaming service.바카라

He acknowledged that things need to be delivered in a few months바카라™ time, and it is in those restrictive circumstances that the streamer might think, 바카라œlet바카라™s get that remake and that format and end up doing it.바카라 Motwane said that with producing remakes for OTT, 바카라œyou are back to exactly where you were with films, exactly where you were with television and that바카라™s not a good place to be.바카라

Apart from Sacred Games and Jubilee, on which he served as the showrunner, Motwane was also one of the producers on Netflix바카라™s Decoupled. The Udaan director said that he was involved in a 바카라œcreative바카라 capacity on the show in terms of giving feedback on the scripts, and making phone calls when the team needed to be made. He shared that he found the scripts to be 바카라œfantastic,바카라 but he felt, 바카라œat the end of the day, there were too many cooks in that room.바카라

He said, 바카라œThere바카라™s too many opinions, too many ways to do it. There was the sense that we need to be able to homogenise this show for a larger audience as opposed to letting it be this beast that kind of offends people, which is what the scripts were. That바카라™s why I liked them. I loved the scripts because, 바카라˜Wow. This is so interestingly offensive in a funny sort of way바카라™. But the show at the end of the day wasn바카라™t that offensive. (What was on paper) wasn바카라™t exactly what we saw on screen and there are multiple reasons for that.바카라 He concluded by saying, 바카라œI could go into them but I don바카라™t want to point any fingers right now.바카라

Decoupled, which released in 2021, starred R Madhavan and Surveen Chawla. The show wasn바카라™t renewed for a second season.
