Anushka Sharma and Karnesh Ssharma’s production house Clean Slate Filmz has partnered with Amazon Prime and Netflix in a deal that is touted to be worth about £40 million. According to a media report, Clean Slate Filmz will release eight films and series on the streaming services in the next 18 months.
Clean Slate is known for producing movies like ‘NH10’, ‘Phillauri’, and ‘Pari’ for theatre releases. It has also produced critically acclaimed series for Prime, ‘Paatal Lok’, and horror film ‘Bulbbul’ for Netflix. Their next release will be ‘Qala’, with Tripti Dimri and late actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil and, ‘Chakda Xpress’ with Anushka.
Karnesh was quoted in a media report as saying the competition between OTT giants like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Disney+ has led to a rise in budgets, and subsequently a rise in the will to experiment. He said, “What has happened over a period of time is ambition is also going up within the studio systems. And that’s great for people like us.”
