The technicians and actors in the film industry are fearing of a new thing right now. They are opening up to their trusted mates about this issue. A lot of people that are concerned are actors and directors with a lot of craze and market.
Going into the details, a lot of star heroes are not willing to come out for shootings and at the same time, the producers are finding it tough to get the financiers for star hero films. At this juncture, the OTT platforms suddenly rose and are luring the filmmakers with fancy rates to buy their films. This is affecting the current way of how things are done in Tollywood. The effect of these OTT platforms are not just on the producers and distributors but the medium and below medium level actors are also feeling it. The films they acted or going to act in are going to get released in digital platforms directly and such agreements are being made with the producers to escape from the money burden.
With this change, the actors and technicians will have to take a cut in their pay. It may not be implemented immediately but it will happen soon if the situation becomes more favourable to OTT platforms. There is also a chance of actors getting into agreements with digital streaming sites and get paid for an year at once and then work on the films produced on their platforms. Looks like it is going to be a huge makeover waiting to happen in Tollywood.
