The actor and the producer have collaborated on three back-to-back successful films in Shakuntala Devi, Sherni and the recently released Jalsa, all streaming on Prime Video. Pandemic has changed things drastically for everyone around but one added bonus, says Balan, is that there are now multiple avenues to create and release content.

People are watching films from different parts of India with subtitles.  With competition, our content is only going to get better. It is a very competitive market already,” Vidya added.
