Rumors are going around in the tamil media that Netflix has much control over indian filmmaking right now. These sources state that before filmmakers can begin filming, especially if Netflix is engaged in the OTT rights, they must present their stories to the platform and receive permission.
There are rumors that SS rajamouli spent an hour telling his narrative in Netflix's mumbai office. The highly anticipated mahesh babu project is rumored only to proceed if Netflix approves it. These stories, though, sound completely ludicrous. A filmmaker of Rajamouli's caliber—who produced the largest hit Baahubali and whose most recent film, RRR, not only won an oscar but also greatly expanded Netflix's worldwide audience—finds it hard to comprehend that the same platform would subject him to such arm-twisting.
It is unbelievable and absurd that an OTT platform could have such power over one of the most sought-after filmmakers in the world, SS Rjamouli, who has production firms and studios waiting up to work with him. This situation could apply to aspiring filmmakers, but given Rajamouli's history, it seems improbable that he would have to persuade someone for an hour to obtain permission for his next picture.
The notion that SS Rjamouli, one of the most sought-after filmmakers in the world, would be at the whim of an OTT platform is absurd and unfathomable, with production firms and studios clamoring to work with him. This situation could apply to upcoming filmmakers, but given Rajamouli's track record, it is quite improbable that he would have to persuade anybody for an hour to obtain clearance for his next movie.
