Netflix Launches Dozen Teasers – Where’s South??
Nearly a dozen trailers for future indian movies and web series were made available by the OTT juggernaut as part of the "Tudum" event it sponsored recently on YouTube. And that has greatly thrilled the streaming service's indian audience, who have seen some films and series with excellent writing and casting.
We have almost a dozen new projects coming up on Netflix very soon including Nayanthara’s wedding documentary, Rajkumar Rao’s Ek Zindagi, Rana-Venky’s Rana Naidu, vishal bharadwaj and Tabu’s Khufiya, saucy series Class, karishma tanna and Hansal Mehta’s Scoop, Sanya Malhotra’s crime comedy Kathal, Manoj Bajpayee’s Soup, Randeep Huda’s CAT, Tripri Dimri’s Qala, Yami Gautham’s Chor Nikhal Ke Baaga and Raj-DK’s Guns and Gulaabs. The teasers of all these projects were released other day, and most of them are crime comedies except Nayanthara’s documentary and Qala.
Although there has been some controversy around the trailers and teasers for these upcoming films, South india as a whole has begun to wonder where the presence of Southern films is in this vast array of new material. It appears that neither a South production has caught Netflix's attention nor a local director who could produce original content for the OTT giant. Although Netflix has tried working with telugu and tamil filmmakers, those anthology films failed miserably, which may be the reason for this snub.
