“It is disappointing to see abrasive and unconstructive messaging from some of our colleagues in the exhibition sector. Statements that call for retributive measures against producers who decide to take their movies direct to OTT platforms – especially at a time when cinemas as unfortunately closed for the foreseeable future – do not lend themselves to a constructive or collaborative dialogue on the way forward for the industry,” read an official statement by the Producer’s Guild of India.
