Wait for some of the biggest announcements ever seen in the digital content space.”
The source goes on to add, “Aditya Chopra is of the opinion that OTT has the power to showcase truly Indian stories to the world.

Aditya Chopra wants to shift a gear and really scale up the OTT space in India to match international standards.”
