Barun Sobti on significance of OTT

We also asked the actor whether the OTT space has helped him to transform his career. To which, he said, "Of course, yeah. Not only me, it's revolutionized the whole filmmaking process, storytelling process. Long format is the real deal right now. The films don't work. Television, I don't know how it is doing. But OTT is! The reason I'm saying this is if you have a conversation right now with a common man, it is around the content of OTT. Nothing else. So yeah, it has revolutionized content, thankfully for me. But I'm getting a career to be honest. And I am just basically lucky to be a part of it."
