Since the start of 2020, India’s premium production house, Yash Raj Films, has been in the news as they complete 50 years in the showbiz. There have been talks about them signing all top stars of the film industry for their 50 years slate from Salman Khan to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif and many others. They are also planning to conduct a film festival across the world over the next one year reviving all the cult classics they have produced over the years. Bollywood Hungama has EXCLUSIVELY learnt that YRF is also planning to launch it’s own OTT platform.

“Currently, the rights of all YRF films are with Amazon, however, they are now planning to launch their own OTT platform too and rework on their terms and conditions with their digital platform. It will essentially serve as a library for all YRF films and the viewers can watch their favourite YRF film at the click of a button on a single platform,” a source shared with Bollywood Hungama. The source also revealed that YRF is also planning to unveil its own acting school. “Yes, you heard that right. YRF is one production house that often believes in supporting and nurturing the right talent and to take it a step further, they are also coming up with an exclusive acting school with the top names of the industry coming on board as the teaching staff,” the source informed Hungama.

He really thinks there's that much of demand for YRF films that people will subscribe to them instead of Netflix or Hotstar? Or does he imagine other PHs would go to YRF's OTT?

Change of strategy due to COVID-19. 

Mobile data is still a luxury for many people and during this pandemic, Max time is spent on Online classes. 

Only upper middle class and rich can afford to watch stuff online on OTT..  

Probably launching for the intellctual, leftist, and "urban" crowd that watches Saif Ali Khan films. 🤣

And the acting school entry criteria will be ‘must be product of nepotism’.

Itll work as well as the WWE Network
