She said, “Whether it’s Netflix or any of the other platforms, they’re slowly rejecting this conventional wisdom that the theatrical business is only led by men, and therefore only films with male-centric subjects will get greenlit. However, today the OTT space has shown time and again that there is a ready audience, a captive audience, and it consists of both women and men. I don’t think shows like Delhi Crime or Maharani are only seen by women; they’re watched and …
