In a recent webinar session, ace director Mani Ratnam shared what he’s been doing during this lockdown and it looks like the ace director is planning to venture into the OTT platform very soon. He said, “What I’ve done is possibly, work on a few short films that we’re trying to do for digital platforms. Apart from that, working on some future scripts as well”. Woah! Well, does this mean Mani Ratnam is going to do some short films or web series related contents for OTT platforms? It looks like the plan is in the nascent stages and we’d get to hear more about it in the coming days.
