Abhishek Bachchan Talks Lockdown Life, Why Indian Cinema Can Be “Too Spicy” For Foreign Audiences, & New Amazon Show ‘Breathe: Into The Shadows’
Our cases are rising. We’re still officially in a partial lockdown. The economy is opening up a bit, offices are allowed to function at 10% capacity – I think everybody is figuring out their own way to deal with this.I’ve been spending time with my family, which is a rarity. Over the last 3-4 weeks I’ve been busy with the post-production of. During the lockdown the opportunity to dub into English came about, which I’ve done myself.Bachchan: Dubbing myself was an exciting experiment for me.
I do realize the benefits of a digital series. It affords you the luxury of time which is something we don’t really get in cinema. Indian films are predominantly 2-3 hours long and you have to tell your entire story, and justify your character, in that time. For this, we have done 12 episodes which are almost an hour long, that’s 4-5 films to take a deep dive into the characters and their nuances.
But that’s a pitch and a tone that maybe the world does not understand…. It might just be a bit too spicy for them. But to an Indian, foreign films might be too bland. Indians prefer not to consume content that is hyper-realistic, so far at least. We like to go to cinemas with our families, enjoy ourselves, and forget our problems. There have been exceptions but by and large these are the trends Indian cinemas follows.will be available in 200 nations worldwide in several different languages.
With streaming platforms you don’t really need to compromise on any aspect of your vision. When TV initially came in, due to smaller budgets you would have had to compromise. At the end of the day, it’s about getting your product out to you consumer and audience.We’ve read some amazing numbers around streaming in India, Disney+ Hotstar is particularly huge, do you think the lockdown has accelerated growth?: I’m sure it has, I don’t have the statistics.
