Actor Aditi Rao Hydari is preparing for the theatrical release of her next Tamil film ‘Hey Sinamika’. With the ongoing pandemic, the actor adds that one must always be prepared for sudden and unexpected changes. Speaking in an interview, the 35-year-old said, “Even today, before any release, I get butterflies, because you don’t know what is going to happen, how it is going to go. Also, people’s relationship with theatres seems to be kind of different, we don’t know how they are going to respond if they are going to theatres.”
When asked if she prefers a theatrical release to OTT, Aditi said, “Today, I would not say I prefer one over the other, but each film has its destiny. There’s a way in which a film is made sometimes. Some are made for the big screen experience. As somebody who has been enchanted by them (cinemas), they are an escape from the world, you are shut out from the world. People, in a theatre, are kind of unreachable, you look up to them on that large screen.”
She adds, “In the last two years, a lot of my theatrical films went to OTT. I was disappointed, but then I saw how you become so close to people, it is so intimate in the home space. Also, there is a lot of stuff available on OTT to watch.”
