Murder Mubarak actor Sara Ali Khan thinks OTT gave films wider reach, Karisma Kapoor opines ‘movies are evergreen’

Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan, Vijay Varma, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, Suhail Nayyar and Tara Alisha Berry will be seen in Homi Adajania’s Murder Mubarak.

The debate around OTT and watching movies in the theaters has often taken center stage when Bollywood celebs sit down for a chat. Recently, when the star cast of the upcoming Indian Hindi-language mystery thriller film Murder Mubarak took part in a discussion, they shared their opinions on whether the streaming platforms have changed stardom for them.

 The Zoya Factor was a popular, out-and-out romance but the film, starring Sonam Kapoor, didn’t do well at the box office. It was followed by Battle for Bittora, another love story but its cinematic version has still not released. Incidentally, its rights were the first to be sold. Chauhan says she has “absolutely no idea” what’s happening with the film. “It was one of the earliest contracts I signed, and I did not have any experience in what to watch out for or what small print to read. In fact, it was after the Bittora experience that I got myself an excellent lawyer, Raddhika Singh at Aletheiaa Legal, to handle all my contracts.”

After five rom-coms and during the Covid19 lockdown, Chauhan decided to switch genres. A self-professed fan of Agatha Christie, she decided to venture away from romance considering the dystopian news pouring in at that time. Club You to Death takes readers inside Delhi Turf Club, which is set to hold an election for its president but things unravel after the discovery of a dead body.

With Murder Mubarak streaming on the OTT platform, a wider audience will be introduce to Chauhan’s fictional world which has now got a wider ark. She talks of her expectations. “Of course, the dream is that people all over the world will enjoy the film, like ACP Bhavani Singh and demand a sequel right away!”

But the process of adapting a book into a film is fraught with artistic tensions. How much creative liberties can a film take? Screenwriters Suprotim Sengupt and Ghazal Dhaliwal had shared two drafts of their screenplay with Chauhan and set up an exclusive screening for her last October to watch a work-in-progress edit. She shared her feedback with producers Sharada Kardi and Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films. But as the author, she has minimized the ‘involvement’ in the process of making the film.

“Unlike a book. which is entirely the writer’s vision. A film is the director’s vision. So me hanging around whining about how what they’re doing isn’t ‘by the book’ will be nothing but nuisance value. So when film offers come, I pick carefully. Choose people I trust. And then respectfully leave them alone to do the thing they’re good at,” Chauhan says.

If you struggle with the choice of whether to read the book first or watch the movie first, here’s how Chauhan looks at it. Calling Greta Gerwig’s take on Little Women as one of the best adaptations, she discloses her bias—the initial encounter with a story, unadulterated by expectations, often shapes preferences. “If I read the book first, I generally like it much more than the movie. And if I happen to see a movie first, and then go looking for the book, I generally like the movie more.”

Chauhan lives on the outskirts of Bengaluru and prefers sitting in her garden and writing her books, answerable to no one, “except my readers”. That’s why, in spite of selling the rights of six books, she doesn’t want to be a movie producer.

Sara Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and others discuss the pros and cons of OTT

The cast of Murder Mubarak. Sara Ali Khan. Karisma Kapoor. Vijay Verma. Sanjay Kapoor. Tisca Chopra. And Suhail Nayyar along with director Homi Adajania were recently in an interview with Film Companion. While talking about the film, they also touched upon the fact that OTT has changed the nature of stardom for them.

Sharing his opinion, Sanjay Kapoor said that OTT has made him busy. “That’s what OTT has done for me. I am really grateful.” As for Sara Alia Khan, the streaming platforms have given wider reach to films and celebs. Sharing her thoughts, she divulged, “I think you reach multiple countries at the same time. So, suddenly if I am in Sydney or in New York. Chaka Chaka is what things people say often than they maybe would have if it was to only be release theatrically in India. So. ya, it maybe is wider reach, if I could say so.”

To this, Tisca Chopra added that it has eternal life because it’s there forever. “It isn’t dependent on just the weekend. If you don’t do the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday business on a film then it goes into oblivion. But when something comes out on OTT. It’s there forever which is a bit of a relief as well because sometimes good pieces of work don’t get an adequate release and they disappear. But when it comes on OTT, it’s as if it got resuscitat,” the actress added.

Veteran actress Karisma Kapoor, who has been associat with the film industry for decades, said movies are evergreen. “Films are something that is magical, I would say. Of course. OTT is amazing and has a different kind of audience and a different reach but I think the love of cinema and the love of movies. Watching a film on 70 mm in a theater and clapping. I think is a totally different experience,” Kapoor state.
