Filmmaker Aanand L Rai, has always delivered the best, be it films like Raksha Bandhan, Raanjhanaa, Atrangi Re and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan among others. Aanand L Rai is known for his stories and his films have captivated generations. The director is set to make his debut on the OTT platform with a romance-drama series this year.
According to the interview in PTI, he said, "The digital space is populated by projects in the mystery and thriller genres and aims to deliver something different to audiences. There are people making fantastic thrillers and mystery series, but I would love to do something different. I want to reach out to the audience with something new on OTT. I want to give them a world which they have not seen on OTT before. He further added, As a good student, I'll learn first and then deliver. This year you can expect (the show) but I won't reveal much about it. All I can say is, I'll be dealing with romance and drama.
All the OTT platforms were asking me to make content but I wasn't convinced as it's new (format of storytelling). It's a different kind of writing. It is character driven, it has a bigger plot and arc, which we don't have in films.
Films are like a complete soul, and for a series, you need a big body. So, I now know the difference (between the two mediums), but knowing is not enough. I have to learn," he added.
