Nawazuddin Siddiqui reacts on OTT rumors

The OTT trend in India was introduced by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Everyone was made to sit up and take notice that this medium is here to stay by his performance as Ganesh Gaitonde in the film Sacred Games.

But after some time, he declared that he wouldn’t do any more web shows. The cause? He believes it has turned into a “dumping ground” for unnecessary shows. The rumour that as many as eight of the actor’s films aren’t finding any buyers on OTT platforms and they didn’t want to go the theatrical route also started circulating recently.

When questioned about it, he responds, “Meri films ready hi nahi hui hain, pata nahi kahan se yeh issue aaya! Aap koi bhi films ki baat kar lo- Haddi is still being shot currently, before this I completed the shoot for my film Afwaah, the post-production work is on. This work takes at least a year, and if not that, at least six-seven months even if you do it fast.
