X
There are a few issues that are troubling the Tollywood film industry and the same issues made the industry halt the film shootings. After many meetings and discussions, the producers decided to resume the shootings. The threat posed by the OTT platforms is a bigger issue for the film industry.

When the shootings were halted, a few producers proposed an idea to increase the gap between theatres and OTT release of films. Once again, the producers are believed to raise the same issue.

As per the media reports, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce reportedly said that the gap between the theatre and OTT release of films should be a minimum of eight weeks and the rule should be followed without fault. The members of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce are believed to have raised the proposal.

Now the Chamber has reportedly made another proposal that the names of the OTT platforms on which the films would be streamed. Usually, we see the names of the OTT platforms that bagged the streaming rights when the title card appears on the screen and the audiences would get to know where they can watch the films.

As per the new update, the Film Chamber wants to see the name of the OTT platforms getting hidden in the title cards. Having said that, the Chamber members believe that OTT ads are resulting in the theatres seeing fewer footfalls.

It is understood that the Tollywood film industry had a tough time with June and July seeing disaster films. August gave a big relief with three films seeing big success at the box office. Now the Chamber wants to address the threat posed by the OTT by hiding the names of the OTT platforms which bagged the streaming rights of the film.

Though the Chamber proposed the new proposal to hide the names of the OTT platforms in the titles card, we have to wait and see if the proposal will really work and help the industry or not. The gap between the theatrical release and the OTT release of films was fixed and what makes the difference if the names are hidden is the big question here.
