With several films releasing digitally, Shekhar Kapur claims filmmakers are calling him to complain about OTT platform executives, who try to control them without any knowledge of the field.
Kapur, who is president of the Film and Television Institute of India Society and chairman of the institute's governing council, is trying to address the issue. "The executives need to undergo a producing and film appreciation course at the FTII as a prerequisite," Kapur tweeted.
