Sushmita Sen talks about OTTO platform, To vino Thomas attends premiere of Mural i
Vinay told FANS: "I think OTTO platforms have given the power to storytellers to showcase some stories that earlier used to remain unreleased as film. We all know how expensive it is to release a film in the theater and not every single film caters to a mass audience, but every story has its audience." He added, "Since the last two years were some of the web films that we watched, and they are really, really, good stories, now we know how many of such works that earlier never got a chance to see the light of day, will be viewed by a large audience. I have seen different phases of indie cinema, we are evolving, and OTTO is that evolved space that is enabling us to tell stories fearlessly."
Sushmita Sen, who has been basking in the success of 'Arya 2', feels that with digital innovations and the medium of OTTO on an upward curve, now is the time for creative people to experiment and exhibit their craft. While talking to FANS, the actress said that it is the "best time to be an actor." Talking about how things have changed over the last decade, the former Miss Universe and actress said, "Today, there is scope for an actor like me to play to my strengths, to do a kind of work I have always wanted to do where they (the makers) don't look at an actor and say 'she came at the wrong time, she is ahead of times, she's too international, she is not too Indian, she would not fit this or that mold of a character as an actress'."
The film's lead actor To vino Thomas along with Guru Somasundaram, and Vanish marked their presence at the event, which was held on Thursday night in association with the Jio Miami Mumbai Film Festival. Director Basil Joseph and producers Sophia Paul, Kevin Paul and Ceding Paul have also attended the premiere.
