OTT is the future says Suchitra Pillai
The actor expressed “I see my building’s watchman sitting and watching something on OTT as opposed to spending his money and finding time to go and watch a movie. That whole process is passe now. I think the present is OTT,” she replies.
“Cold Case” is a mystery thriller film that casts the actress as a clairvoyant named Zara. “I have always been interested in occult and I believe in spirit. So, when I got the role of Zara who uses the process of scrying, which I had not heard of earlier, I was interested. Of course, working with Prithviraj and Aditi Balan was so interesting,” she says about her experience of working in the film that is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
