In an exclusive interview with midday.com, Rajkummar opened up on the OTT boom, upcoming projects and Diwali memories from previous years.While the actor says he is excited about theatres reopening, he is happy with his film releasing on OTT as well. “OTT has a vast reach; we can't deny the power of the medium. Theatres were shut and now opening up. OTT was the only way we could reach the audience and show them our films. It’s a great way because we can watch as per our convenience again and again. I have no issue with films releasing on OTT of course theatres have their own charm but these two industries can co-exist. I was missing going to theatres so as they open up now I’m going to go watch a film,” he says.
