In an interview, 'The Kerala Story' director Sudipto Sen claimed that the movie is struggling to find an OTT partner and that the film industry is uniting against them as punishment for its success.

From the whims of the entertainment business, here is an interesting shocker. By now every box office analyst and trade guru agrees that The Kerala Story is a definite blockbuster by this point. A blockbuster film by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story, has not received a suitable offer from any OTT platform for streaming.

When asked about the rumors of the movie being available on OTT soon, Sen stated "No no. That is untrue news. We are still waiting for one of the major OTT platforms to offer a good, workable deal. But to date, we have not received a worthwhile offer." Sen believes the film industry has ganged up to punish the film for its success. He also explains that the film's success has irked many sections of the industry, and they feel that a section of the entertainment industry has united to punish them for their success.

One of the leading OTT platforms was asked why a film as successful has yet to get a digital outlet, the response was not surprising, they declined to discuss the film's digital release, stating that they don't want to get into anything politically controversial.

A well-placed industry source explains that the film's controversial subject matter could elicit ire from a certain audience, and no major OTT player is ready to acquire it. The source also explains that The Kerala Story comes across as a propaganda film, while OTT channels have been focusing on more intelligent, thought-provoking, and entertaining subjects, making it unsuitable for the genre.
