In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Amitabh Bachchan was asked if his first release on OTT platforms feels any different from his earlier in-theatre releases? He said – “First of all, I want to know what OTT means. Is it an abbreviation for ‘Oh Teri!’. Sorry, a bad one. That’s the Punjabi in me. As you know, my mother was Sikh. Coming back to your question, no it doesn’t feel any different. Why should it? I’ve been working for 51 years and I’ve witnessed a lot of changes. The best way to survive is to embrace change, not fight it”.
