New Delhi. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has claimed that Payal Kapadia’s Cannes award-winning film ‘All We Imagine as Light’ is facing difficulty in making it available on digital medium as no OTT platform is buying it. ‘All We Imagine as Light’ created history by becoming the first Indian film to win the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. Mehta told American news magazine ‘The New Yorker’ on Monday night that he has heard that no OTT platform has bought the film yet.
The filmmaker said, “And I have heard that no OTT platform is buying this film. This is the harsh reality of making independent films in India. There’s no room for the excellent ‘All We Imagine as Light’. Hopefully I will be proven wrong.” The film, distributed by Rana Daggubati’s ‘Spirit Media’, has been released in theaters in Kerala and will be released in the rest of the country on November 22.
