It cannot be denied that the OTT boom has brought about many changes, small and big, in the Indian entertainment industry. For Tanuja Chandra, her latest series `Hush Hush` is a case in point. A story led by six women — Juhi Chawla, Soha Ali Khan, Shahana Goswami, Ayesha Jhulka, Kritika Kamra and Karishma Tanna — would have been unthinkable in the pre-OTT times, she says. “It would’ve been almost impossible to make this show 20 years ago. Producers [then] would have [asked] to reduce the story to that of three women. They would [say], ‘If you are making a story about women, make it on a smaller budget.’ Now, with OTT platforms, one is able to make a high-quality series with established female actors,” smiles the filmmaker.
