										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actor Rasika Dugal has been a part of the web world from a time when OTT platforms had just about started gaining prominence in India. Delhi Crime, Mirzapur and Out of Love are a few of her projects which fetched her immense popularity, and she continues to work in more.</p>
<p>The pandemic in fact gave a boost to such platforms, and today, it has emerged as the mainstay of the entertainment industry. With people turning to them for fresh content, the demand clearly has increased. In such a scenario, some also feel that the quality has lost it’s charm.</p>
<p>What does the 36-year-old feel about this? She says, “I don’t know if there is any reason for it. Any space which is changing constantly, there is bound to be something good and something bad. It is not possible that all content on OTT will be great. It is not true.”</p>
<p>Dugal feels that good content is still releasing, so viewers won’t feel any void. “If as an audience I watch six trailers, two-three will be interesting, that is a fairly good ratio. Good and bad both will exist. The reason, I am not sure if for some of the content not being promising, is the increase in demand,” the actor tells us.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With films taking a &#8220;more realistic turn&#8221;, director Priyadarshan believes the allure of superstars will slowly be replaced by the power of good storytelling. One of the most bankable filmmakers, Priyadarshan has worked with some of the biggest names in Bollywood &#8212; from Salman Khan in the 2005 drama &#8220;Kyon Ki&#8230;&#8221;, Shah Rukh Khan in &#8220;Billu&#8221; (2007), to Akshay Kumar, his long-time collaborator on hits like &#8220;Hera Pheri&#8221;, &#8220;Garam Masala&#8221; and &#8220;Bhool Bhulaiyaa&#8221;.</p>
<p>While his films with the superstars ranged from dramas to comedies, the 64-year-old director, who has been making movies for nearly four decades across genres and languages, said the viewers today reject films they don&#8217;t find authentic.</p>
<p>&#8220;The industry has changed. I think this is the last era of superstars. Whoever is enjoying today, Shah Rukh to Salman to Akshay&#8230; they should be thankful to God. Tomorrow, the superstar will be the content.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I can see how films are taking a more realistic turn. You can&#8217;t exaggerate without a believable situation. Even in a comedy or a serious film, the make-believe should look right. I don&#8217;t think any film can fail if it looks convincing,&#8221; Priyadarshan said.</p>
<p>The filmmaker is currently gearing up for the release of his latest feature, &#8220;Hungama 2&#8221;, scheduled to stream on Disney+ Hotstar from July 23. The comedy will mark his return to Hindi films after the 2013 action drama &#8220;Rangrezz&#8221;. Though Priyadarshan was known for comedies, his Hindi projects in the last decade &#8211;&#8220;Aakrosh&#8221;, &#8220;Tezz&#8221; and &#8220;Rangrezz&#8221; &#8212; were more in the realm of drama.</p>
