OTT has revived the old film.

- Manoj Bajpayee's film 'Gali Guliyaan' released in theaters in 2017 failed to make any money. The recent OTT release of the same film has created a big surprise. The film has reached the top-10 list of films on a major digital streaming platform.

Even after the lockdown, the OTT platform is proving useful for the film industry. Producers of films that do not run in theaters recoup their investment by selling their digital rights. Also, OTT is proving to be a boon even for films that failed at the box office in the recent past. Five years ago in 2017, Manoj Bajpayee's film 'Gali Guliyaan', which was released in cinemas, failed to make any money. The recent OTT release of the same film has created a big surprise. Gali Gulyan has reached the list of top 10 films on a major digital streaming platform. Knowing that, Bajpayee is not happy because he has put everything at stake to do justice to his role in this film.

Talking about it, the 53-year-old Bajpayee has said in a post on Instagram, I have played my most difficult role till date in 'Gali Gulian'. I had worked so hard preparing for that role that I was about to lose my mental balance. The role really drained me physically and mentally. Let's say so.

A Padma Shri decorated actor does not end his relationship with his film by just acting in it. I have worked hard to get Aligarh (2015) and 'Bhosale' (2018) first to theaters and then to OTT and it has been a memorable journey for me. It gets very tiring, but as an actor, if you are doing a film with good content, you have to fight to get it to the floor.' Manojji says.
