In a Instagram live session with actor Lakshmi Manchu, director Ram Gopal Varma made some interesting predictions about the film industry in the post-Covid-19 world.
The Shiva director said, “We are going through a pandemic at the moment so our lifestyles are bound to get affected. People need cinema to deal with things so the art will live on but some changes have to be made to the process. After the atom bombs were dropped in Japan the entire world assumed that the country will take forever to bounce back. Japan proved everyone wrong.
Similarly, the film industry too will get back on track soon. The technical work will increase, new-age film-making will be ushered in and OTT platforms will rise in prominence. Producers will be able to promote their films at lesser expenses. We have to wait and see how all this turns out.”
He also revealed that he is working on a few scripts and a web series at the moment.
