Dibakar Banerjee reveals why Netflix refused to release his film Tees; says, “Netflix is reluctant to release the film out of fear” : Bollywood News – Bollywood Hungama

Due to Netflix’s refusal to provide it a platform, director Dibakar Banerjee has been forced to look for buyers for his unreleased movie Tees. The director has assumed that the political situation in the nation is what caused the streamer to change their mind regarding the finished film. 

Dibakar Banerjee reveals why Netflix refused to release his film Tees; says, “Netflix is reluctant to release the film out of fear”

In an interview with Deadline, Banerjee said that Tees (formerly named Freedom) isn’t even that politically charged and that Netflix has forbidden him from screening it at film festivals, but the streaming service has permitted him to share links to the movie with potential customers. He said, “Netflix has never given me any other reason except they don’t know if this is the right time to release the film.” Banerjee further said, “Given what happened with Tandav, the only conclusion to reach is that Netflix is reluctant to release the film out of fear of being similarly targeted. But the film I have made is very different to the web series in question.” 

He added, “It’s not about any incendiary incidents – it’s about the daily life of an average middle-class urban family over three generations. But now my story is becoming eerily similar to one of the protagonists in the film. I also believe this is my best film to date. Although it has universal themes, it was made for an audience that remembers my other films, and is attuned to watching a film made by me, so it saddens me that they won’t be able to see it.” 

A few of years ago, the political drama encountered significant problems, and Prime Video agreed to alter a contentious sequence. Anurag Kashyap recently discussed the industry’s behind-the-scenes changes following the Tandav debacle in an interview with The Lallantop. Regarding Maximum City, he said, “Netflix was supposed to do it earlier, but they aren’t doing it anymore. The project had been green-lit, but a lot has changed since then on streaming. Lots of projects have stalled, like Paatal Lok season two… There have been leadership changes and policy changes at streaming companies. There was a show called Gormint which never came out. A lot has changed, and we’ve suffered because of it, on health and otherwise.” 

Previously, Banerjee and Netflix worked together on the anthology movies Lust Stories and Ghost Stories. His comedies Khosla Ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye are among his most known works. On the other hand, Anurag Kashyap’s Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohobbat featuring Alaya F and Karan Mehta among others. Vicky Kaushal makes an extended guest appearance in it.
