Harish Shankar is one of the top directors of the Telugu film industry. The director is currently working on the pre-production of his next film with Powerstar Pawan Kalyan which is likely to go on floors towards the end of the year. Meanwhile, he is all set to make his OTT debut as well.
Harish Shankar is presenting an OTT project for Aha Video. It is not clear if it is a film or a web series. Senior director Dasaradh is penning the story for this project. Another director will be handling the megaphone for this. We are in the process to bring more details of this project from our sources in Aha Video. Ever since its inception, Aha Video is making an attempt to make OTT mainstream in Telugu. With someone like Allu Aravind, it is not difficult.
The challenge is to convince a couple of stars to take the OTT seriously and then, everyone will start taking OTT seriously. Once the stars start coming here, we will also see the audience showing interest in OTT. The future of OTT will depend on the fact it grows as a parallel to the film industry. As of now, the OTT boom in India is mostly dependent on the COVID disruption which shut down the theaters.
