Priyanka Chopra's production house Purple Pebble Pictures is now planning to work into a web series, says the banner's co-owner Madhu Chopra, pointing out that it's a result of how the GST is affecting the entertainment business.
Madhu, PeeCee's about GST told: "Yes, it is affecting the whole entertainment business. If the ticket price will go up, the footfall of cine-goers will automatically go down. As a production house, though we have films lined up that are going on the floors and will release in the coming few months, I would say digital is the future. "So yes, we will also venture into digital entertainment like web series."
Madhu about the film said: "The talk is at an initial stage and it's too early to announce anything, but yes we have the interest to get into that zone. High taxation on entertainment is quite an unfair factor for our audience, filmmakers and theatre owners. "The regional film business is getting affected because there are local tax and GST, so double taxes right? Until we are getting more clarity on things, we might just slow down a little. Because at the end of the day, filmmaking is a business," she also said.
"Well, our Marathi film is releasing. We finished shooting of our second Bhojpuri film, and that is planned for release in October, and our Sikkimese film will be released around Durga Puja. That apart, our Bengali film is going on the floors in August," she also said.
