Pankaj Tripathi: I wouldn’t have had to wait 47 years if OTT had existed earlier

The inaugural event of OTTplay Premium in Mumbai on Thursday attracted a slew of celebrities from Bollywood, television, and streaming platforms. Pankaj Tripathi was one of them, and he spoke at length about the importance of OTT in his life and work.

“With the arrival of OTT, the tales have begun to alter,” he remarked, referring to how OTT is finally getting the recognition it deserves. People used to think of OTT as just another television when it first came to India, but now we realise it has incredible reach.”

“Had OTT existed earlier in my profession, I would have advanced much faster in my job and wouldn’t have had to wait 47 years,” he added. With OTT, viewers are more engrossed in side plots and subplots because they have more time. The supporting actors are also given due credit because they are given sufficient screen time. The competition for actors has obviously dwindled. There is only one stipulation here, and that is that you must know how to act.”

“In film, it is not required that if it is earring properly, it is good content,” he remarked, comparing the platform to a cinema experience. If your work is good, though, it will generate word-of-mouth on its own. The platform’s employees know which scene of whatever episode has received the most attention. OTT, I believe, will allow for a lot of experimentation.”
