Director and producer Mahi V Raghav recently gave an exclusive interview to GreatAndhra.com.
In a candid and thought-provoking conversation with writer and anchor Sira Sri, he shared several fascinating insights into the realities of filmmaking for both theatrical releases and OTT platforms.
During the discussion, Mahi shared his opinions openly about some of the biggest challenges facing the Telugu film industry.
He argued that many heroes have limited understanding of content, while producers often lack a deeper understanding of cinema itself.
According to him, these factors significantly affect the quality of films being made today.
He also highlighted a striking comparison between the Indian film industry and international markets.
While Indian cinema has a success rate of around 1.5%, industries such as Hollywood and Korea reportedly enjoy success rates closer to 25%.
He explored the reasons behind this gap and explained what Indian filmmakers can learn from global content creators.
The conversation also touched upon the growing importance of OTT platforms. Mahi discussed why creating content for OTT can often be more profitable than making films exclusively for theatres.
He further examined why Indian OTT content has yet to consistently reach the quality of acclaimed Korean dramas and answered the question related to the increasing use of vulgarity in web content.
